Statioe, Linn. From statist), to stop ; in allu-

 the species. Linn. 5, Or. 6, Nat. Or. 

 PlumbagintLce.ee. The species of Stdtice, or 

 Sea Lavender, ought to be in every garden, on 

 account of their lively little flowers. The 

 greenhouse and frame kinds succeed best in 

 -sandy loam and peat, and may be increased by 

 cuttings. The hardy herbaceous species are 

 very suitable for ornamenting the front of 

 flower-borders ; they increase freely by division, 

 or seeds, which latter some of them produce in 

 abundance. The root of S. caroliniana is one 

 of the most powerful astringents known. Sy- 

 nonymes: 1, Taxdnthema australis; 2, Stdtice 

 lyrata ; 3, S. spatulata. See Armaria and 

 Acanthollmon.
