GEUM TRIFLORUM. 



Class, OrJer. 



ICOSA NDRIA POLYG YNIA 



This was discovered by Mr. Bradbury in 

 Upper Louisiana : it 1ms been likewise 

 found on the banks of the Ohio, and other 

 parts of North America; and was brought 

 home by Mr. Drummond. It has been 

 called Sieversia by some Botanists, hut 

 seems to be so closely allied to Geum as to 

 render separation of little or no real use. 



It is a hardy perennial, flowering in May, 

 and growing very well in any soil, either in 

 a pot or in the full ground. It may be in- 

 creased by dividing the root, or by seeds.
