Scientific Names

Read about Parrya in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Parrya (Capt. W. E. Parry, Arctic explorer). Cruciferae. Four or 5 N. American and a few Asiatic low perennial herbs, with thick caudices, scape-like peduncles, narrow lvs. and mostly racemose rose- colored or purplish showy fls.; sepals oblong and erect, the lateral ones gibbous at base; petals broad, clawed: pod broad and flat, mostly elliptic, with orbicular seeds. The parryas are alpine or boreal often arctic planta, and some of them will no doubt prove useful for the alpine garden. So far they are practically unknown in American gardens. The most likely species to be used in rock- gardening is P. Menziesii, Greene (Cheiránthus Menziesii, Benth. & Hook.). It has a leafy scape 3-8 in. high, with a raceme of many fls., the petals nearly 1/2in- long and bright purple: lvs. spatulate or oblanceolate, entire, densely tomentose. N. Calif., north to the Lower Columbia River. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
