to, either 2. serotina, ambigua or canadensis, or incana, nor 
even to the common form of 2. fruticosa ; still less does it 
resemble those glaucous species called Gv. glauca and Frazert. 
On the contrary it would seem to be a peculiar variety, whose 
distinctive marks have been stamped upon it in consequence 
of long cultivation in the climate of India. 
It is very pretty, and well worth a place among a collec- 
tion of choice herbaceous plants. It is hardy, and grows 
about eighteen inches high, requiring the same treatment as 
Ciinothera Frazeri or glauca. It grows and flowers freely in 
any good common garden soil, and is easily increased by 
dividing the old plants either in the autumn or spring ; it 
flowers from June to August. 
It was raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society, 
from seeds given to the Society by Dr. Royle, said to be col- 
lected in Cashmere, but it is frequently amongst the collections 
from the north of India, and was once raised from seeds 
marked C&nothera Frazeri from Cashmere.
