Linaria cymbalaria, Mill. (Antirrhinum Cymbalaria, Linn.). Kenilworth Ivy. Mother-of-thousands. Perennial tender glabrous herb, but sowing itself freely from seeds, long-trailing and rooting at the joints: lvs. cordate-orbicular or reniform, 5-7-rounded-lobed, on slender stalks longer than the blades: fls. solitary on the axils, on slender sts., small but pretty, lilac-blue with a yellowish throat: caps, globular, splitting from the top. Eu. Var. alba, Hort., has white fls. Var. rosea, Hort., has pale pink fls. Var. maxima, Hort. (L. pallida, Hort.), has large light-colored fls. Var. globosa, Hort., forms a compact globular plant: fls. lilac.—The Kenilworth ivy is one of the most familiar of trailers on greenhouse bottoms and in odd corners; also as a trailing basket-plant in greenhouses and dwelling-houses. It is of the easiest cult., particularly in a moist and partially shaded place. Prop, by division of the long sts. or by seeds. It will not stand frost, but the plant will spring up year after year from seed, becoming essentially annual. It has become established in the open in many parts of the E. It is a good basket-plant for poorly lighted places and is a continuous bloomer. By some botanists, it is made the type of the genus Cymbalaria.
