SiLENE, Linn. From sialon, saliva; in allusion to the 
viscid moisture on the stalks of many of the species, 
by which the smaller kinds of flies are entrapped; 
hence, also, the English name of the genus, Cati hfly. 
Linn. 10, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Silenacece. Elegant flower- 
ing plants, succeeding best in a light, rich soil. 
The shrubby kinds are readily increased by young 
cuttings, planted in sand or soil, under a glass. 
The hardy herbaceous kinds may be planted in the 
open border; the dwarfer species thrive well on 
rock-work, but duplicates should be kept in small 
pots, as alpines, that they may be sheltered by a 
frame in winter. The seeds of the hardy annual 
and biennial kinds only have to be sown, about the 
beginning of April, where they are intended to 
t 291 ] 
remain. They may all be easily multiplied by 
seeds, and some of the herbaceous sorts by dividing 
the plants at the root in spring. Synonyrnes: 1. S. 
conoidea. 2. S. hirsuta. 3 Cucubalus cMoroefolius.
