There are 150 or more species of Pilea, one of which, P. pumila, is a small nettle-lilse plant growing in thu , northern states. The Artillery Plants of the gardens are small branchy half-succulent herbs, usually grown in pots and allowed to reach a font or so in height.

If a plant is put in a sunny place wlien the pollen is ripe, it may set up a vigorous bombardment, particularly if the foliage is sprayed. (See ,p. 64 (185-t) for an account of this phenomenon.) The Artillery Plant is seen in nearly every greenhouse, but whether there is more than one species in common cultivation it is difficult to deter- mine, for specific characters are difficult to draw.
