This is only a Botanical subject, having no claims tc 

 cultivation for its beauty. It is a hardy perennial plant, 

 easily increased either by cuttings, or by dividing its root, 

 or by seeds. 



The late Mr. M'Rae first found it in Chile at the baths 

 of Collina, a favourite retreat of the inhabitants of St. Jago. 

 Since that time it has been met with by others, and is pro- 

 bably not an uncommon Chilian species.

 horizontal anther.
