DICTAMNUS (Ga. Plant). 



A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2A feet in height, 

 having fragrant foliage and spikes of curious flowers during June and July, 

 giving off during hot weather a fragrant volatile oil, which ignites when a

 sunny position. It is not advisable to transplant often, as they improve with

 border. Instances are known where this plant has outlived father, son and 

 grandson in the same spot.
