Pedate-leaved Nuttallia. Fl. Aug. Clt. 1824. Pl. 2 to 3 ft. 
Cult. These plants deserve to be cultivated in every collec- 
tion on account of the elegance of their blossoms. They thrive 
best in peat soil mixed with sand, or vegetable mould. They 
may be increased by seeds, or sometimes by -dividing the plants 
at the root. They require shelter in severe weather.
