Sepals 2: petals 4: stamens many: ovary with 2 (rarelyS) cells, the stigmas miter-shaped, the fruit becoming a long silique-like capsule: Ivs. alternate, lobed or dissected. Glauciums are low, branchy herbs, often somewhat suceulent,with large fls., mostly yellow or orange, but varying to red and purple. The fls. are usually short-lived, but they are borne in rapid succession. They are well adapted for foliage ef- fects in borders or edgings. Of easy culture in any good soil. They prefer an open, sunny situation. Mostly prop, by seed, but the perennial kinds by di- vision; however, the perennials are short-lived, and usually had best be treated as biennials; they should be grown from seed. mteum, Sc.,11.
