Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA TRIGYNIA. 
This is a native of North America, whence 
we received it last spring: it flowered in 
May, and seems nearly allied to S. Vir- 
ginica. 
It is a perennial plant, which should be 
kept in a pot, in light loamy soil, and may 
be increased by dividing the roots; the best 
season for which operation is the spring. It 
is perfectly hardy, requiring no sort of pro- 
tection at any season. In dry weather a 
moderate supply of water is all that is ne- 
cessary. _
