ASTRAGALUS BREVIFLORUS. 
Class. Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
A native of Armenia: we raised it from 
seed in 1825: it is a low shrubby plant, 
growing slowly, not much exceeding six 
inches from the ground. 
It is quite hardy, flowering in June; will 
thrive in light loamy soil; ours was kept 
constantly in a pot, but it would probably 
grow something larger in the ground: we 
have not yet increased it, and unless it 
produces seeds, fear this will be no easy 
task.
