LfciiNis, De Candolle. From hjcìinos, a lamp ;
on account of the brilliancy of the ilowers of
most of tlie species. Linn. 10, Or. 5, Or. Nat.
Caryopliyllaccm. An extremely beautiful genus
of })h\nts, v/ell meriting extensive cultivation
for the brilliancy of their flowers. Among the
most showy and esteemed of the border flowers,
is L. Chalcedónica, the double varieties of
whicli require some care to prevent them from
returning to a single state. L. fidgens and
grandiflòra are truly beautiful ; the latter will
grow and flower well if planted out in the open
border in spring, but it must be taken up in
autumn, or the frost will kill it. They all
grow freely in light rich loamy soil ; but they
must be frequently divided, or they will dwindle
away, and the best time to do this is early
in spring. The seed of the annual species has
only to be sown in the open border in spring.
IJ. is very handsome. Synonymcs :

which grows in peat and loam, and is increased
by cuttings
LfciUM, LAnn. From lycion^ a name given by
Dioscorides to a thorny shrub, and ai)plied to
this genus because of its containing some
thorny shrubs. Linn. 5, Or. 1, ISTat. Or. Solanaecm.
The stove and greenhouse kinds require
the same treatment as other similar
])lants. L. afrum-, and some others of the
Cape species, thrive and flower well against a
south or west wall, and are very handsome
when in flower. The hardy species are admirably
suited for training against trellis-work,
or walls, or for covering arbours. They are all
readily increased by cuttings of the ripened
wood planted in sand, under a glass. Synonymes:
