History, Use, Propagation, Culiure, 
which measured eighteen inches in width, and seven inches in height from the top of the stalk thick, full, and 
of the most intense purplish red. {Ho^ t. Trans, iv. 322.) To produce this, the great object was to retard the 
protrusion of the flower-stalk. Hence, a rich compost was employed, the plants put first into pots of four inches 
diameter, and then transplanted to others a foot in diameter ; the object being not to compress the roots, as that 
has a tendency to accelerate the flowering of all vegetables. The plants were placed close to the glass in a heat 
of from 70 to 100 degrees, all side branches removed, and pigeon-dung water used in watering. Had the 
shiftings from pot to pot been more frequent, it appears probable the size might have been still greater. 
566. Gomphrena. Gromphrena is a name applied by the ancients to a plant bearing red and green leaves on 
the same stem; probably our Amaranth us tricolor. G. globosa is a popular tender annual, valued for its 
heads of flowers, which, if gathered before they are too far advanced, will retain their beauty several years. 
The other species propagate readily by cuttings under a glass. 
567. Mollia. So called from its softness. The species are small weeds. 
568. Glaux. From yXcivxiov, a name under which Dioscorides describes a maritime plant with glaucous 
leaves. This plant is maritime, and has glaucous leaves. A pretty little plant, and well adapted for pots and 
rock work. It will grow at a considerable distance from the sea in sand kept moist. 
569. Thesium. Atheneeus says, on the authority of Timachides, that this plant was called ^'/lo- ti o v, because it 
formed part of the garland presented by Theseus to Ariadne. If this be so, the accent should be placed on the 
penultimate and not on the antepenultimate syllable. It is, however, very certain that the Thesion of the an- 
cients had no resemblance to that of the moderns, which is a genus of little obscure plants or weeds. 
570. Heliconia. A name given to this plant in an ingenious sense, as indicating its affinity with Musa. 
H. Bihai is a large herbaceous plant, bearing considerable resemblance to Strelitzia. It grows in rich well
