Heliotropium Pcruvianu (XK.) HELIOTROPILTJI {ff. grandiflorum Don), has louger and relatively nar- rower Ivs., which are distinctly narrowed to the base, flower-clusters larger and more open, fls. nearly twice larger and the corolla tube nearly twice Ioniser than the calyx ; calyx teeth longer and narrower. Peru. 1609. Narcissus-scented. Many of the large-trussed and large-flowered garden varieties are apparently of this species rsither than of the former; or possibly the two are hybridized. Originally both species were violet- flowered, but the colors are now in various of purple, and there are white-flowered forms. H,Voltalreanuiu,Hort., occurs in our trade- lists. It is a compact garden form, said to be a hybrid. 16, p. 100. Another species, H. Europseum, Linn., is rarely seen in old col- lections, particularly South, and it is spar- ingly naturalized. It is a hoary-downy herb 6-18 ill. high,with long- petioled oval Ivs., and white fls. in scirpioid racemes. l H. B.

It needs to be kept growing, and suffers more than many other plants from becoming dry. It wilts easily, and should never be allowed to lack for moisture in soil and air.
