Celsia (Olaus Celsius, 1670-1756, a Swedish orientalist). Scrophulariaceae. Herbs, with yellow fls. in terminal racemes or spikes, closely allied to Verbascum, but has only 4 stamens, and they are of 2 sorts. About 40 Old World species, mostly from the Medit. region. Only C. cretica, Linn, f., is known in Amer., and that very sparingly. It is a hardy or half-hardy biennial, with alternate lvs., of which the lower are slightly pinnate and lanceolate, and the upper ovate-lanceolate, toothed and clasping: fls. large (nearly 2 in. across), and somewhat as in Antirrhinum, yellowish, with dark markings in the center and conspicuous deflexed stamens. Stout hairy plant, 3-6 ft. high, from Crete. B.M. 964.—A very showy plant well worth much wider cult. C. pontica, Hort. Has whitish lvs. and pure white fls. N. TAYLOR.
