showy, and flowers from July to October. It increases 

 freely by parting the roots, and it also produces seeds abun- 

 dantly. 



Although a Perennial, this also may be treated as an 

 Annual, for seedlings flower early enough the first year to 

 ripen their seeds. It will grow in any common garden 

 soil, and seems to require no care in its cultivation. A 

 bed of it thickly planted is very pretty. 



590. LUPINUS ELEGANS. Drooping -leaved Lupine. 



Class 17th. Diadelphia Decandria. 



A very pretty Annual, native of Mexico. It flowers in 

 the open air most abundantly in June, and ripens its seeds 

 in tolerable quantity. 



Of all the annual Lupines this is by far the handsomest, 

 and in the opinion of many persons it rivals the best of 

 the Perennial species. 



591. PIMELEA SYLVESTRIS. Forest Pimelea. 



Class 2nd. Diandria Monogynia. 



A hardy and very pretty greenhouse shrub, easily in- 

 creased by cuttings. It is a native of the southern coast 

 of New Holland. 



It may be seen at Mr. Knight's Nursery of the King's 

 Road, Chelsea, where it flowered in June. 



592. POTENTILLA GLANDULOSA. Glandular Cinque/oil. 



Class 12th. Icosandria Polygynia. 



It is a hardy Perennial, easily increased by the division 

 of its roots. It is a native of California. 



It may be seen at the garden of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety in the month of August, when it is in blossom.
