The introduétion of this plant is afcribed to Mr. JacoB 
- BozrarT, 1693, and though fince that time it might be fup- ` 
pofed to have increafed confiderably, it has not happened in 
a proportion to many plants; if raifed from good feeds, it | 
foon becomes vigorous enough to decorate the border, and 
will produce ripe feeds, by which it may be propagated. 
Nor will the ftamens and piftil of this plant refufe an at- 
tentive examiner, an inftance of the fallibitity of a fuperfi- 
cial furvey, even of the greateft naturalift. 
Is a native of North America, &c.—Flowers May and 
. June, and often Apriland July.
