LIATRIS SPII.EROIDEA. 

 STNOENKaiA MQVALIS. 



A native of the high mountains of Caro- 



It is a hardy herbaceous plant, growing 

 about three feet high, and flowering in 

 September and October : the flowers begin 

 to open at the top of the stem, and go on 

 downward, as is the case with the other 

 species : they last a long time. 



The soil should be loam and peat : the 

 plant may be increased by dividing its 

 tuberous root, or more extensively by seeds, 

 which sometimes ripen in this country.
