BEAR'S-EAR SANICLE; a genus of the monogynia order, belonging to the pentandra clas of plants. There are two species, both of them very low, flowery, herbaceous perennials, crowned by umbels of monopetalous, wheel-shaped flowers, of a fine red colour. They are natives of mountainous rocky parts abroad, so must have a dry lean soil; or they may be kept in pots of dry sandy earth placed in the shade, and in summer must be duly watered; and their propagation here is by slipping the roots in October.
