This fine perennial is a native of woodless, sandy 
deserts, from the great falls of the river Columbia in North 
America, to the sources of the Missouri among the Rocky 
Mountains, where it was discovered by Mr. Douglas. It 
is a branching plant, covered all over with long white 
hairs, which in the wild plant are so abundant as to 
conceal the epidermis. The flowers grow in long slender 
racemes, and are either white, as in the figure, or tinged 
with light pink. 
Flowers from June to November, propagated either by 
seeds or by dividing the roots. 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horti- 
cultural Society, in October 1826.
