Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Gynura aurantiaca, DC. Velvet Tree. Stout and branchy, 2-3 ft., with almost succulent sts. densely clothed with violet or purple hairs: lvs. large and soft, ovate, jagged- toothed, hairy, short-petioled or the upper ones clasping, overlaid with iridescent purple: heads in a terminal cluster, yellow or orange. Java.—A handsome foliage plant. In winter it may be grown in the conservatory or warmhouse, but in the summer it may be bedded out in a warm and protected place. It grows rapidly, and makes a most satisfactory display of colored leafage. It is readily prop, by cuttings in the house, as geraniums are.
