Centaurea Cineraria, Linn. (C.candidissima,Lam.). Fig. 869. Perennial: sts. erect, 3 ft., branched, the entire plant white-tomentose: lvs. almost all bipinnate (except the earliest), the lower petioled, all the lobes linear-lanceolate, obtuse: scales of the ovate involucre appressed, with a membranous black margin, long-ciliate, the apical bristle thicker than the others: fls. purple. S. Italy, Sicily, etc.—Much used as a bedding plant, not being allowed to bloom. The first lvs. of seedlings are nearly entire (as shown in Fig. 869), but the subsequent ones become more and more cut. Grown both from seeds and cuttings. Seedlings are very apt to damp off unless care is taken in watering. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
