Phlox, Linn. From phlox, a flame ; appear- 

 ance of the flowers. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Polemoniaceee. This is an elegant genus of 

 plants. The species are all rendered more

 flowers, being produced at a season of the year 

 when the majority of the plants that flower at 

 the same period are syngenesious, and for the 

 most part yellow ; the trailing kinds are ad- 

 mirably adapted for growing on rock-work, or 

 in small pots ; they grow best in a rich loamy 

 soil. All the species root freely by cuttings,
