IRIS PUMILA. 
Class. Order. 
TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This beautiful little plant is a native of 
Hungary: it has long been known in our 
gardens, having been cultivated by Parkin- 
son. Itis verylow in growth, and quite 
hardy: the blossoms come out in succes- ' 
sion during the month of May: like the rest 
of this genus, they are of short duration. 
It may be increased by dividing the roots, 
which should be planted in light loam, ei- 
ther in pots or in the open border.
