The Atragene alpina from Siberia and that from Auftria, 

 " not diftincl: fpecies, are certainly permanent varieties. Our 

 plant is undoubtedly the Auftrian kind, and was firft introduced 

 to this country by Mr. Lod dig es, Nurferyman at Hackney, 

 who raifed it from feeds fent from Crane above fourteen years 

 a g°i and in his garden it has flowered freely for feveral years 

 P a ft» as alfo in fome others to which it has been extended. 

 Our fig Ure was taken this Summer from a plant in the pofTeflion 

 °f Mrs. Wright. 



The above fynonyms appear to us to belong to this variety, 

 ^though it is poffible they may refer to more than one fort, as 

 tn e authors do not in every refpecl agree.
