Our drawing was taken in July last, at the Chelsea Bo: 
tanic garden, where it was introduced by Dr. Fiscuer, 
director’ of the Imperial Botanic , garden at. St. Peters- 
burgh. 
It is a hardy perennial ;_ but although Dr. Fiscuer on his 
visit here last summer, informed us that he considered it as 
an undescribed species, to which he had attached the name ; 
of longispatha, we neglected to enquire of him of what part _ 
of the Russian dominions it was a native.
