Schizanthus (Greek, split and flower; from the incised corolla). Solanaceae. Butterfly Flower. Erect half-hardy annual herbs, more or less glandular-viscid, grown outdoors and also in the greenhouse for bloom. They can be trained into immense pot subjects. Leaves frequently pinnatisect, the segms. incised or dentate: cymes terminal and open: fls. incised, showy and variously colored; calyx deeply 5-cleft, almost 5-parted, the lobes linear; corolla-tube short or elongated, cylindrical, the limb spreading, oblique, somewhat 2- lipped, laciniate; perfect stamens 2, exserted; disk inconspicuous; ovary oblong, 2-celled: caps. membranaceous-chartaceous; seeds numerous.—About 7 species, all from Chile. These choice plants are of easy cult. in any good garden soil. They are also useful as pot-plants for spring flowering, the seed being sown in early fall and the plants kept in a light house and given plenty of root-room as they need it. There is a strain offered in trade under the name of S. hybridus, Hort., which is not readily placed botanically. It does not appear to be specific in rank and apparently consists of a series of large-fld. garden hybrids. It is offered in several variations. CH
