Gardening. 1294. Limnocharis Humboldtii (X Ji). 1 day) standing well above the water. In habit, remark- ably like Llinnanthemum- ui/mphoides. Grows well in an aquarium or in shallow water. Continuous bloomer. emarginita, Humb. & Bonpl. {L. Phanieri, Rich. L. flAva, Buch.). Stouter: Ivs. long-cordate-ovate, dock- like, standing out of the water : fls. on long-winged stalks, the yellow petals much contracted below: car- pels 15-20, scarcely cohering. S. Amer. 2525.— Less frequent than the last. The culture of Limnocharis BumboJdtii is of the simplest. When grown in tubs, fill the latter two-thirds full of moderately rich soil, covering with sand and fill up with water. Two or three plants planted in the cen- ter will, in a short time, furnish the tub with its bright glossy green Ivs. and numbers of its bright cheery yel- low fls., which continue late in the season. In natural ponds, planted on the edge the plants grow very rapidly, and spread over a large surface of water. In artificial ponds, plant in tubs or boxes and place in shallow wa- ter or stand the tub or box on some stand, allowing 6-9 inches depth of 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,
