was taken, frequently met with it growing in low marshy 

 situations from the state of Connecticut to South Carolina. 

 Seeds collected in Canada would probably produce more hardy 

 plants than those from a more southern climate. 



Introduced to the Kew Garden in 1772, by Dr. Samuel 

 Martin ; but is very rarely met with in our collections ; nor 

 do we know of any figure of it having ever been given to the 

 public, except the very imperfect one by Plurenet. 



Flowered at Kew in July and August, but our plant did 

 not blossom till October, too late to expect ripe seeds.
