Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This beautiful little plant is from Switzer- 
in April, and last for a considerable time 
before they fade. The whole plant is repre- 
sented in our figure, and of a size which it 
rarely exceeds, being one of those minute 
and delicate gems, which render the higher 
Alps so very interesting. Itis rather diffi- 
cult to increase, except by seeds; is perfectly 
hardy, and seems to grow pretty well ina 
small pot in light sandy loam.
