A native of the mountains of Lewis and Clark's River, 

 where it was found by Mr. Douglas. Our drawing was 

 made in the Garden of the Horticultural Society in August 

 last. 



One of the hardiest of its handsome genus, growing 

 from 1^ to 2 feet high, and freely in any kind of garden 

 mould : propagated readily by division of its spreading 

 roots. It flowers from July to the end of September. 



The species is chiefly remarkable for the deep green of 

 the leaves, and the delicate cream colour of the flowers.
