A hardy herbaceous plant, native of dry sandy fields ii 

 the southern part of the district of Pesth, in Hungary, espe 

 cially about Czegted and Szolnoki, where it grows in com 

 pany with Potentilla canescens, flowering in June and July 



Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul 

 tural Society, where it had been raised from seed commu 

 nicated by Baron Jacquin in 1829. 



According to M. Seringe, this is a variety of P. hirta 

 we, however, prefer following those who consider it distinct 

 especially Professor Lehmann, whose accurate knowledge 

 of this genus gives great authority to his decisions.
