A native of the moüntains of Lewis and Clark's River, 
where it was found by Mr. Douglas. Our drawing was 
made in the Garden of the Horticultural Society in August 
last. 
One of the hardiest of its handsome genus, growing 
from 14 to 2 feet high, and freely in any kind of garden 
mould: propagated readily by division of its spreading 
roots. It flowers from July to the end of September. 
The species is chiefly remarkable for the deep green of 
the leaves, and the delicate cream colour of the flowers.
