Pascalia
(named after Dr. D. Pascal, a professor at Parma). ORD. Compositae. A monotypic genus, the species being an erect, half-hardy, perennial herb, allied to Rudbeckia, and having a resinous smell. It should be grown in a dry, warm spot, and needs the protection of a frame in winter. Propagated by divisions, in spring; or by cuttings, inserted under a handlight, in summer. "The plant cultivated in England as P. glauca is evidently a species of Sunflower, and has nothing to do with this genus" (Lindley and Moore). P. glauca (milky-green). fl.-heads yellow, nearly 1in. across, terminating each branch, solitary; receptacle chaffy. July. l. trinerved, glaucous. h. 1 1/2ft. Extra-tropical South America, 1799. (A. B. R. 549.)
