this plant. Itis not hardy enough to live in cold English 
summers without protection ; and it does not thrive either 
in a greenhouse or a frame. It is, however, when well 
grown, a very handsome plant, and richly deserving of 
careful cultivation. 
Mr. Bentham has remarked to us, that this is no doubt 
Lychnis pulchra of Schlechtendahl and Chamisso, found 
by Deppe and Schiede at the foot of the mountain Orizaba, 
where it is, however, a rare plant.
