 pereTuiial ]jlaut ■''4-2 ft. high, with drooidng, trumpet- 

 shaped vermilion Hs. l', in, across and under 1 in. wide 

 at the UKUith. It is the calyx which forms the showy 

 trumpet, and its 4 acute lobes are rather larger than 

 the 4 petals, ndiich are obcordate and inserted at the 

 thro;it of the c:dyx-ttlbe. The Ic-ngth nt the calyx <lis- 

 tinguishesthis genus from Epilobium, to which Zauseli- 

 neria is closely allied by reason of lis 4 petals, 8 sia- 

 mens, 4-loculed ovary and ccunose seeds, I'lie genus has 

 only one species, but this \aries greatly in the width id' 

 Ivs. and hairiness. \^arieties ha\"e Ijeeu made leased 

 tipon linear, lanceolate or ovate hs.. but they run into 

 one another. The jdants also vary from glaljri>us and 

 puliesceut to tomentcise. As a iH-dding plant it has been 

 occasionally used for novelty effects by European gar- 

 deners. To overcome its thin and leggy habit, it is well 

 xo set the pilants rather closely ami jumdi tuit the young 

 shoots until compact inishes are secured. The plant is 

 sometimes grown in piots for trreenhouse decoration in 

 late autumn, 'fliere are said to be forms that "carv con- 

 siilerably in hardiness. 'Idle pianti* hardy inmost parts 

 of England with slight winter covering. In favored syiots 

 it is considered to be a choice plant of ptendent habit 

 for the steep) sides of rockeries and for naturalizing on 

 old walls. In light and <lry soils it s]ireads underground 

 like the epilobiums. It is proie by division, by cut- 

 tings made iu autttmn and wintered in a coidframe, or
