Honey-flower; a genus of the angiospermia order, belonging to the didynamia class of plants. There are two species. 1. The major hath a thick, ligneous, spreading root; many upright, ligneous, durable stalks, rising six or eight feet high; garnished with large pinnated leaves, of four or five pair of serrated lobes terminated by an odd one; and, from the sides and tops of the stalks, long spikes of chocolate-coloured flowers. 2. The minor, hath a root like the former; upright, ligneous, soft, durable stalks, rising four or five feet high; garnished with smaller pinnated leaves; and from the sides and ends of the branches, long, loose, pendulous bunches of flowers tinged with green, saffron colour, and red. Both the species flower about June; but rarely produce seeds in this country. They are very ornamental, both in foliage and flower, and merit admittance in every collection. They are easily propagated by suckers and cuttings. They thrive best in a dry soil, and in a sheltered warm exposure.
