as a fynonym of his, not only Amman n, No. 49, but likewife 

 Mo. 48, in which a doubt is expreffed whether Buxbaum 

 deiignated the fame fpecies or not, and it is there defcribed as 

 growing to five cubits in height and more, and branched almolt 

 from the bottom: it feems probable, therefore, that Gmelin's 

 andBuxBAUM's plants may be two diftinct fpecies, and that 

 Miller may have poffefled the former. 



Native of Siberia. A hardy perennial. Propagated by 

 feeds or parting its roots. The authority for its introduction 

 before 1759 depends upon the identity of Miller's plant, 

 which the above obfervation renders dubious. Flowers from 

 June to Oftober. Communicated by Mefirs. Loddiges and 

 Sons, Hackney.
