Eriocephalus (from erion wool, and kephale, head, in allusion to the woolliness of mature heads). Composilae. A scarce little-known group of greenhouse shrubs, grown for their violet-white flowers and pleasantly scented leaves. Leaves usually entire, sometimes 3-lobed, often in bunches: fls. in umbellate clusters in the only cult. species, in some others racemose; heads with white ray- fls. and purplish disk-fls.; involucre in 2 series, the outer series of 4-5 bracts.—Twenty species, all S. African, but only one seems to be grown and this is confined to fanciers' collections in Amer. It is best grown in the temperate house in a mixture of sand and peat. Propagated by cuttings, in sand, under a bell-jar. E. pectinifolius, Linn. An attractive yellow-fld. sort with smooth green lvs. is perhaps referable to Hippia frutescens. B.M. 1855. It is known only in botanic gardens in Amer. N. Taylor. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
