Platytheca galioides, Steetz (P. verticillata, Baill.). Lvs. linear, 3/4in. long, about 10 in a whorl, hairy. Said to bloom in June. P.M. 13:171 (as Tetratheca verticillata). G.C. III. 44:290.—This plant deserves to be better known. Cuttings of half-ripened wood root freely under a bell- glass in a shaded house at 60°. Cuttings rooted in February or March will make good plants in 5-inch pots in one year. In summer keep them plunged outside, but covered with shaded sash. By trimming frequently they will make well-shaped plants, needing no supports. Kept in a coolhouse (45°) during winter, they will be covered with bloom in March and April. The fls. last but a short time, but the plant is so free that it is always covered with the blue bloom. H. D. Darlington and Wilhelm Miller.
