Tex., Ariz, and Trop. Amer. Another native species worthy of cultivation is 0. leucopdda, Link, from Tex., with broadly deltoid-ovate leaves. L. M. Underwood. CHEIEANTHUS (derivation in dispute, but probably tiom Greek tor hand and flower). Oruciferce. A dozen or more Old World herbs, with large purple or yellow. 424. Cheiranthus Cheiri {X K). fls., entire lvs., and a strict or upright habit. Lateral sepals sac-like at the base : valves of the pod with a strong midnerve. Much confounded with Matthiola, and the genera are not suf&ciently distinct. In Cheiranthus, the lvs. are acute, stigma deeper lobed, pod more flat- tened and seeds not thin-edged. Cheiri, Linn. Wallflower. Pig. 424. Perennial, slightly pubescent, l-2>^ ft.: lvs. lanceolate and entire, acute : fls. large, mostly in shades of yellow, in long, terminal racemes. S. Eu.âAn old garden favorite, blooming in spring. Although a woody perennial, it is best to renew the plants from seed, for they begin to fail after having bloomed one or two years. Seedlings should bloom the second year. There are dwarf and double-fld. varieties, and innumerable forms in various shades of yellow, brownish, and even purple. Not prized so much in Amer. as in Eu. It thrives in any good garden soil. O. 4nnuus, , but early-blooming forms of C. Cheiri seem to pass under this name.â0. M&nziesii, Benth. &
