LOBELIA. Nat. Ord., Lobeliacex . 
A most elegant and useful genus of dwarf plants, of easy culture; well adapted for bed¬

edging. The varieties of Lobelia erinus are generally used for this purpose. The varieties 
of Lobelia gracilis are the best adapted for rock-work, pots, or suspended baskets, to droop 
over. The seeds of Lobelias being very small, cover very slightly when sown.
