laschkan and Arctic American P. villosa, a plant I do not 
know. So that one cannot help suspecting that P. insignis, 
argyrophylla, macrantha, leucochroa, and villosa may be all 
one and the same thing, modified by soil and situation. In 
the meanwhile this is certainly P. insignis. 
It is a hardy perennial, requiring the same treatment as 
the old Potentilla atrosanguinea, flowering from June to 
September. It was raised from seeds received from the East 
India Company through Dr. Royle, and seems very common 
in the North of India, as it is in nearly every collection of 
seeds received from that part of the world. 
It may be the means of producing some beautiful hybrids, 
with either P. atrosanguinea or P. nepalensis ; and we should 
expect that they will some day rival the hybrid Calceolarias, 
now so common.
