Selenia aurea, Nutt., is a hardy annual of the mustard family, a native of the U. S. from Ark. and Texas to the base of the Rockies. It is not known to be cult. in Amer., but it seems to be one of the prettiest of our few native ornamental crucifers. It has small yellow fls. about 1/2 in. across, each of the 4 petals having a central band of red. It is also interesting for its finely cut foliage and its flat pods through which the seeds may be vaguely seen, as in the case of lunaria, or "honesty." It grows about 9 in. high.
