MENZIESIA.— A genus containing 7 

 species of smooth or hairy bushes, with 

 alternate stalked deciduous leaves, smooth 

 or hairy beneath. Flowers in terminal 

 corymbs or clusters nodding or drooping. 

 Calyx 4-5-parted. Corolla cylindrical 

 globose, urn- or bell-shaped, bluntly 4-5- 

 lobed. Stamens 5, 8 or 10. Ovary 4-5- 

 celled. 



Culture and Propagation. — Menzie- 

 sias thrive in moist peaty soil and are 

 suitable for the rock garden or the flower 

 border. They may be increased by seeds, 

 layers, cuttings, or careful division as with 

 Bryanthus (see p. 582). 



M. glabella. — A native of the Eocky 

 Mountains very much resembling M. 

 globularis. The bluntly lance-shaped 

 leaves are somewhat glaucous and nearly 

 or quite smooth beneath, but with a few 

 scattered hairs on the upper surface and 

 on the margins. The lurid purple ovoid 

 bell-shaped flowers appear in May in 

 clusters at the ends of the shoots. The 

 stamens are noticeable for having bearded 

 filaments, and the seeds have appendages 

 at each end. 



Culture dc. as above. 



M. globularis. — A N. American shrub 

 2-5 ft. high. Leaves ovate, clustered at 

 the ends of the branches. Flowers in May, 

 pink, drooping, roundish. The variety 

 M.ferruginea is a much dwarfer plant 

 with lance-shaped obovate leaves, tapering 

 at each end, with rusty hairs above, pakr 

 beneath. Flowers in May, brown, oblong 

 ovoid or cylindrical. 



Culture dc. as above.
