PENTSTEMON ATROPURPUREAM. 



This is a native of Mexico, lately inrro- 

 ducedby Mr. Barclay, from whom we re- 

 ceived it. It is perennial, or rather half 

 shrubby, growing about two feet in height, 



It requires the shelter of a greenhouse, 

 or frame, in winter, to save it from frost, 

 and may be increased by cuttings, which 

 easily strike root. The soil should be rich
