HL'JIEA, Nat. Ord. Compos' itcB. 

 A remarkably handsome plant, invaluable for decorative puri^oses, whether in the hall, the 

 conservatory, or dispersed in pots about the lawn, pleasure-grounds, or terraces. Planted in the 

 centres of beds or mixed borders, its majestic and graceful appearance renders it a most 

 efiective and striking object ; in long-mixed borders, if placed at intervals in ixTCgular posi- 

 tions, it breaks that monotonous appearance which most persons so much dislike. Indeed, in 

 any position, this plant stands unrivalled as a garden ornament. The leaves, when slightly 

 nibbed, yield a powerful odour. When well grown we have seen it 8 ft. high and 4 ft. in 

 diameter. Succeeds best in light rich soil.
