Limonium macrophyllum, Kuntze (Statice macrophylla, Brouss. S. Halfordii, Hort.; also spelled Holfordii.). Subshrub about 2 ft. high: lvs. rather glabrous, very large, sessile, obovate-spatulate, very obtuse, lower part long-attenuate, obsoletely sinuate: scape tall, amply and very much branched, corymbose-panicled above, it and the branches winged; branchlets 3-winged, wings dilated from the base upward, puberulent, net-veined, running out into short obtuse auricles below the spikelets or these may be nearly obsolete; spikelets 2-fld., grouped in 2's, erect at the ends of the branches: calyx blue, tube puberulent, limb very obtuse, 5-crenate-sinuate; corolla yellow or almost white. May. Teneriffe. B.M. 4125. B.R. 31:7.-Cult. in S. Calif. Makes a good pot-plant for winter-flowering in a cool greenhouse. T. D. Hatfield, in G. F. 9:496, says: "Old plants are somewhat subject to stem-rot. Plants should be grown in rather undersized pots, in a light soil with which some charcoal has been incorporated, and given perfect drainage, as excessive moisture at the roots is fatal. Propagation is effected by cuttings of the side shoots placed in a cool propagating-bed, or better by layering, which is well accomplished in summer by making a notch in each of the side branches and then burying the plant in ordinary garden soil below the incisions."
