The lavender cotton was common in gar- dens in Gerard's time, who says it is acrid, bitter, and aro- matic, and has much the same qualities as southernwood. It was formerly employed as a vermifuge, but is now disused. Other Species.— S. squarrbsa W., S. viridis W., and S. TosTtiarinifolia L. (our Jig. 1022.), are in gardens, but they are better adapted for being treated as herbaceous plants than as shrubs. "'*^- 1021. S. Chamsecjpa-.
