NITRARIA SCHOBERT. 
Class. Order. 
DODECANDRIA MONOGYNTA. 
Native of the salt and nitrous deserts to 
the north of the Caspian sea. It is a low, 
spreading shrub, and although never in- 
jured by the cold of our climate, is of difi- 
cult cultivation. We have found it to suc- 
ceed best by applying salt frequently over 
its roots. It may sometimes be increased 
by layers, and produces its flowers in the 
commencement of the summer.
