circumference of the flower other meshes of a finer and 
closer fabric, till at last they melt as it were into each other, 
and form a clear red border to each petal. 
This pretty species is a perennial, with much the same 
kind of trailing habit, as the old Potentilla nepalensis, but 
itis rather more robust. It requires the same kind of 
treatment, grows freely in any good rich garden soil, and 
flowers from July to September. 
It is easily increased by cuttings of the young shoots, 
taken off either in May or September; when two or three 
inches long, placed in sand under a bell glass and kept close. 
It was raised in the Garden from seeds received from the 
Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company, 
through Dr. Royle, and is said to have been collected either 
in Cashmere or Thibet.
