POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA. 
This is a native of New York and Pensyl- 
vania, in shady wet places on the mountains. 
With us it is a hardy perennial plant, re- 
guiring very little care: it was introduced 
about the year 1806. April and May are its 
seasons of flowering. It is increased by 
parting the roots; the best time for which 
operation is either spring or autumn. A 
light loamy soil agrees very well with it, and 
it may be planted in the ground or preserved 
in a small pot; in which latter case a pretty 
good supply of water will be necessary in 
dry weather.
