HEDYSARUM CARNEUM. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
We raised this elegant plant many years 
since from Caucasian seeds, but very soon 
lost it Lately, however, we have obtained 
a fresh supply, which has produced us two 
or three plants, from one of which our 
figure was taken. It grows about a foot in 
height, spreading considerably, and produc- 
ing several flower stems from each shoot : 
they are without scent. 
We have not yet succeeded in in increasing 
it, as the roots do not divide: the only 
chance is from seed, Which has not yet been 
perfected with us. The plant is herbaceous, 
and quite hardy: it may either be kept in 
a pot or planted in the full ground, in 
loamy soil. Its time of flowering is May 
and June
