PINGUICULA ALPINA. 
Class. - Order. 
DIANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
This is a native of the Alps of Switzer- 
land. We received living plants of it from 
our friend Mr. Schleicher, of Bex, last au- 
tumn, and they flowered in the month of 
May. It grows in marshy places among 
moss; also where there are little rills of water 
running among rocks. It is difficult to pre- 
serve it long ina garden: we have kept it in 
a pot filled with peat earth covered with 
moss, and the lower part of the pot standing 
in water. .
