Iboza riparia, N. E. Br., or Moschosma riparium, Hochst. Stout, 2-5 ft., perennial, the st. branching and obtusely 4-angled: lvs. broadly ovate, most of them notched at base and otherwise toothed: fls. very numerous, in erect panicles above the foliage and therefore conspicuous although small, creamy white with dark anthers.—An excellent bloomer under glass Dec.-Feb. After blooming, the plants may be cut back and good shoots secured for cuttings for the next winter's bloom. It is handled much like salvias and the species of coleus.
