This is a native of North America, 
growing in sandy pine forests in New Jer-

discovered in Sweden, by Swartz. It is a 
neat little plant, with deep green leaves, 
which remain the whole year. The flowers 
appear in June. It is difficult to increase, 
which can be only occasionally done by se-

move it into a shady situation. The soil 
should be peat.
