he recent travels of Mr. Dovexas and Mr. Drummonp 
among the Rocky Mountains, and in the North-west part of 
America, have been the means of enriching our gardens 
with — ney beautiful species of the Genus PrnrtstE- 
mon ; and in richness of colours the present will scarcely 
ield to any. It was found by the former of these two 
aturalists in swampy and overflowed meadows, between 
Fort Vancouver and the Grand Rapids of the river Colum- 
bia, on the North side; and by the latter (to whom our 
— are indebted for the living plant) on the Rocky 
ountains ; and by Dr. Ricnarpson about Carlton House. 
It blossoms in June.
