Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1295, Linaria Cymbalaria, or Kenilworth Ivy. (XK.) Idmnoeliaris emarginata, or Jj. Plumieri, is entirely distinct from the preceding. The light green oblong, blunt Ivs. are very characteristic and ornamental; petiole LINARIA triangular, 1-2 in. high: the fls., produced on a scape, are pale yellow bordered white. Seed is produced very freely, and as the seed matures the scapes fall to the water, the seed ripens and sinks to the bottom, and where grown out-of-doors, grows freely the following season. The fiower-scape, as soon as it rests on the wa- ter, throws up a shoot, which produces another plant in a short time, which again produces flowers, seeds and shoots, and so on. The plant may be grown in pots or tubs or planted out in shallow water in early summer. Wm. Thicker and L. H. B. LINABIA {Linwm, the flax, which the Ivs. of some species resemble). Scrophulariclcew. Low herbs, some- times subshrubs, of 130-150 species, widely distributed in extra-tropical regions, several species cult, for the oddly-irregular fls. and others for the festooning foliage. Lvs. alternate, or sometimes subverticillate, in the erect-growing species mostly narrow and entire : fls. solitary in the axils, or in terminal racemes, yellow, white, blue or purple ; corolla personate or grinning, 2-lipped, usually 1-spurred at the base (in rare or so- called Peloria states 5-spurred); stamens 4, ascending in 2 pairs, slender; style 1: fr. a dry capsule, opening by slits or pores near the summit. Occasionally the fls. of the common toad flax (Linaria vulgaris) are regular. When Linnasus discovered this form, he took the plant to be of another kind and made for it the genus Peloria. This word Peloria is now used ge
