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 cyclopediaofamer02bail2 Year: 1900 1018 MIMULUS MIMULUS MlMULUS (Latin, a Utte mimle, from the grinning fls.). ScrophitlariCiceie. This genus includes the Moukey Flower, M. luteus, and the Musk Plant, 31. moschatnu. Monkey Flowers are soiuething like snapdragons, though they do not have a closed throat. They are 2-lipped fls., with 2 upper and 3 lower lobes, which are all rounded and usually irregularly splashed and dotted with brown on a yellow ground. Though perennial, they are com- monly treated as annuals and are considerably used for pot culture in winter, as well as for summer bloom out- doors. The Musk Plant is grown for its scented foliage and pale yellow fls. It is sometimes used in hanging- baskets, but the foliage is so sticky that it gathers a great deal of dust. Mimulus is a genus of about 40 species, mostly Ameri- can: herbs, decumbent or erect, glabrous or pilose and clammy, rarely shrubby: Its. opposite, entire or toothed: fls. axillary, solitary or becoming racemose by the reduc- tion of the upper Ivs.; calyx 5-angled, with 5 short or long teeth; corolla tube cylindrical, sometimes swelled at the throat; stamens 4, didynaraous: capsule oblong or linear, loculicidally dehiscent. The kinds described below are all perennial at least by underground parts, and most of them are natives of wet and shady places in northwestern America. Latest monograph by A. Gray in Syn. Flo. N. Amer., Vol. II, part l,pp. 273, 442. They mostly grow 2-4 ft. high and l)loora all summer. Mimulus Califoriiiea is advertised. Diplacus is generally referred to Mimulus. f_ jj The sight of Monkey Flowers always carries the writer back
