N. Amer. For monograph, see Gray, Syn. Fl. N. Amer., vol. 1, p. 302. Of easy cult. Prop. by seeds or division.

The following are offered in the trade, but unknown botanically: S. mariana, Hort., growing 3 ft. high: fls. bright pink.—S. mexicana, Hort., a strong grower, 3 ft. high, with satiny rose fls. borne on wiry sts. CH
