The Lemon Verbena is an old-fashioned favorite, with delightfully fragrant foli- age, a sprig of which was often included in mixed bou- quets. It is a low-growing, tender shrub, with long, narrow, pointed, entire lvs., which are usually borne in 3's. In summer, it bears minute fls. in a delicate, pyra- midal panicle, composed of many-flowered spikes,which appear in groups of three at decreasing intervals along the main axis. The Lemon Verbena comes from South America, and in the North is deciduous. In northern gardens it needs a winter overcoat of straw. In S. Calif, it attains a large size out-of-doors. Full cultural directions are given at the end of this article. The genus Lippia is botanically nearer Lantana than Verbena
