HELIINTHUS, Zm?^. From Mios, sun, and
anihos, a flower ; on account of the brilliant
colour of the flowers, and from the erroneous
idea that the flowers always turned towards the
STiu. Zmn. 19, Or. 2, Nat, Or. AsUräcece.
The sun-ilower is a highly ornamental and extensive
genus of plants, and from their tall
groAvth they are particularly adapted to the
hack of flower-borders or the front of shrubberies,
in which situation they make a splendid
appearance in autumn ; they grow well in any
common garden soil, the tender kinds being
protected in winter. They are all easily increased
by seedj which is ripened in abundance
; the annual kinds should be raised on a
hotbed in spring, and when of sufficient size,
transplanted into the open border, where they
will grow and flower beautifully. Synonymes:
