A hardy herbaceous plant, native of dry sandy fields in 

 the southern part of the district of Pesth, in Hungary, espe- 

 cially about Czegled and Szolnoki, where it grows in com- 

 pany with Potentilla canescens, flowering in June and July. 



Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 

 tural Society, where it had been raised from seed commu- 

 nicated by Baron Jacquin in 1829. 



According to M. Seringe, this is a variety of P. hirta; 

 we, however, prefer following those who consider it distinct, 

 especially Professor Lehmann, whose accurate knowledge 

 of this genus gives great authoritv to his decisions.
