A native of Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and France, 
Cultivated with us ever fince 1597-. Perfeétly hardy and com- 
mon. We need add no further defcription to the many already 
given; but as the root has been defcribed as “ round,” we — 
muft obferve, that it is “ fafciculately fibrous,” as ufual in this 
genus; the leaves have alfo been called “ flat,” but they in 
fa& are more or lefs “ channelled and carinate ;” the piftil is 
termed “ ftraight” by fome, yet is fomewhat “ declined and 
affurgent, or curyed upwards,” The pedicles or branchlets 
are about the length of the diameter of the corolla, and are 
near the bafe obfcurely jointed, as in Poaraneium Liliago ; 
a circumftance we have never found noticed, Blooms about 
June and July. G, :
