PHLOX PYRAMIDALIS. 
Class. 3 
PENTANDRIA | MONOGYNIA. 
This plant is a Native of North America, 
growing in mountain meadows, from Pen- 
sylvania to Carolina. With us it is a per- 
fectly hardy, and very ornamental, herba- 
ceous plant. It flowers in abundance, and 
for a long time, during the months of 
August and September, sometimes later. 
Its usual height is from two to three feet. It 
is easily increased by parting the roots in the 
spring, and may either be kept in a pot or 
planted in a border in loamy soil. It loves 
a good deal of moisture, especially in sum- 
mer: if it is well watered during that sea- 
son, the flowers will be greatly improved, 
and they will also last much longer.
