The Galax Aphylla is also called Wand Plant. The Heart-shaped Galax is a charming little plant for rock-work. It is perennial, and does not lose the old leaves till the new ones appear. A rich, light mould is required for its growth, and its situation should be a somewhat shady one.

Its flowers are borne in July and August, on stalks 1 feet or more high. The plant may be increased by taking up a strong clump, shaking it apart, and transplanting at once.
