nessas. 
A native of Siberia. Pallas, who has 
given a beautiful figure of it in Flora Ros- 
sica, calls it Alpina. With us it is usually 
in flower in February or March, and com- 
ing out so early, is very subject to be in- 
jured by frost. 
It may be increased by layers or seeds, 
and forms a suitable elimber for a wall or 
other support. It will grow in any good 
garden soil.
