About the year 1786, we received from Philadelphia, feeds 

 of a plant collected at a confiderable diftance from that city, 

 announced to us as new and rare, and which produced the 

 prefent (pedes of Dracocephalum : Mr. Watson, Nurferyman 

 at Iilington, obtained the fame plant from Carolina, about the 

 fame period. 



It is a hardy perennial, multiplying confiderably by its 

 roots, which creep fomewhat ; it mult be planted in a moilt 

 foil, and Ihady fituation, for fuch it affe&s, and in fuch only- 

 will it thrive. 



It flowers in Auguft and September. 



It bears a confiderable affinity to the Dracocephalum virgi- 

 manttm, to which, though a much rarer plant, it is inferior 

 in point of beauty ; it fpreads more on the ground, its 

 flowering Items are not altogether fo upright, nor fo tall, the 

 leaves are broader, and the flowers in the fpikes lefs nu- 

 merous.
