ZALUZIANSKIA (named in honour of the same person as the preceding genus). SYN. Nycterinia. ORD. Scrophularineae. A genus comprising about sixteen species of more or less viscous, greenhouse or half-hardy, South African, annual or perennial herbs or sub-shrubs. Flowers sessile, spicate; calyx shortly five-toothed, bilabiate or two-parted; corolla persistent, at length cleft to the base, the limb of five spreading, entire or bifid lobes; stamens often four. Lower leaves alternate; upper ones opposite, few-toothed; floral ones bract-like, entire. Three species have been introduced. All thrive in a mixture of sandy loam and peat. Seeds of S. capensis and S. selaginoides may be sown, in summer, in the open border. S. lychnidea may be increased by cuttings, or by divisions. ZALUZIANSKIA capensis (Cape).* fl. whitish; corolla slender, nearly 1 1/4in. long; spikes usually short and few-flowered, the central one usually acquiring a considerable length. Spring. l., upper ones or all linear, few-toothed or quite entire, one-nerved, the margins and nerve usually ciliated. Stem erect, adpressedly villous. h. 6in. to 12in. Half-hardy annual. See Figs. 251 and 252. ZALUZIANSKIA lychnidea (Lychnis-like). fl. yellowish-white; corolla tube 1 1/2in. or rather more in length; spikes elongated. May to July. l. oblong-linear, few-toothed or entire, one-nerved, nearly glabrous; floral ones amplexicaul, broadly lanceolate or oblong, obtuse, few-toothed or entire, the margins and nerve ciliated. Branches adpressedly villous. h. 6in. to 12in. 1776. Greenhouse sub-shrub. SYNS. Erinus lychnidea (B.M.2504; B.R.748), Nycterinia lychnidea (S.B.F.G. ser. ii.239). ZALUZIANSKIA selaginoides (Selago-like). fl. white, with an orange centre, fragrant at night; corolla nine to eleven lines long, the throat crowned with rigid pili; spikes interrupted at base. May. l. spathulate; lower ones obovate, on rather long petioles; upper ones oblong-or linear-spathulate; floral ones adnate to the calyx, dilated at base. h. 3in. to 5in. 1854. Half-hardy annual.
