But if his description can be at all relied on, his must be a 

 very different species. 



A neat hardy herbaceous plant, growing freely in a mix- 

 ture of sandy loam and peat, and in rather a damp situation. 

 It is increased either by seeds, or by dividing the old plants ; 

 hut the young plants grow but slowly at first, and will not 

 flower before the second season. 



It flowers in July, and was raised from seeds received 

 from Dr. Royle, and stated to have been collected in Cash- 

 mere ; but the seeds are frequently to be found in the collec- 

 tions of seeds sent from the North of India.
