however of modern travellers have brought to light the ' 
existence of five others. Of these E. macranthum, a beau- 
tiful species with pale violet flowers has already been figured 
in this work; that now represented is a second; and we 
have the Epimedium Musschianum, with large white flowers, 
which is yet handsomer than either. All these are Japanese 
lants, for the introduction of which to Europe the public is 
indebted to Dr. Siebold. ‘The other two are E. pubigerum 
an inconspicuous species from Constantinople and Æ. elatum, 
a plant 2 or 3 feet high, with dull yellowish brown flowers, 
discovered in Cashmere by Jacquemont. 
That now represented is a very neat hardy Alpine peren- 
nial, requiring the same treatment as other Alpines, and like 
all such plants suffering equally from the extremes of wet and 
dry. 
_ At flowers in April and May, and may be increased by 
division of the roots when in a dormant state; but like the 
other species of the genus has never yet been found to seed. 
Our figure was taken from a plant presented to the Horti- 
cultural Society by Mr. Groom, of Walworth.
