DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Lately introduced from North America. 
Pursh found it in sandy wet places in New 
England, New Jersey, and Carolina; and 
Elliott says it grows in the wet pine bar- 
rens in Georgia and South Carolina abun- 
dantly. With us it flowers in July and 
August. It may be increased by separat- 
ing the roots in spring, and should be 
planted in sandy peat earth. It appears to 
be perennial, and hardy enough to bear our 
winters.
