 Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Fabhceas. S. chi- 

 nensis and S. japbnica are two of the most 

 handsome species, and well adapted for grow- 

 ing singly on lawns. "When young, they re- 

 quire a slight protection in winter. They are 

 sometimes increased by layers, hut generally 

 by seeds. The stove and greenhouse kinds 

 thrive well in alight loamy soil ; and cuttings 

 will root, if planted in sand, under a glass. 

 The hardy herbaceous kinds are increased by 

 dividing the roots in spring. Synonyme: 1, 

 Astr&galus carnbsus. See Ammodindron, Cy- 

 clopia, Bdwardsia, Thermipsis, and Virgilia.
