Of this genus, two fpecies only have as yet been difcovered, — 
the one a native of Great-Britain, the other here figured the 
produce of Siberia and Cappadocia, both hardy, perennial, 
herbaceous plants; the latter, more particularly, from t 
bright orange colour of its flowers, held in high eftimation 
an ornamental plant, and flowering in May and June. 
fpecies, as yet rare in this country, is ufually propagated by 
parting its roots in autumn; it may alfo be raifed from feeds, 
which ripen frequently on ftrong healthy plants: to fucceed 
in its cultivation, we fhould plant it in a compofition of loam 
and bog earth, and place.it in a north border, taking caré 
that it does not fuffer from want of watering in dry fummers? 
Was cultivated by Mr. Miter, in 1759. Ait, Kew, :
