In sandy fields and among bushes : Canada to Carolina. 

 ■J/, June- Aug. v. v. Flowers v hite, with a red 

 bottom. There is a variety with double flowers, cul- 

 tivated in the gardens of Amei ica, which is a smgular 

 circumstance in this genus. TI>e root in some in- 

 stances grows to an enormous size; I have seen one 

 the tl.i kness of a man's thigh, and more than two 

 feet long. Taken in the place of Jalap, it has the same 

 effect, only in a less degree.
