This is a native of the western parts of 

 North A-oierica: we received it from our 

 friend Mr. M'Nab, of Edinburgh, by whom 

 it was raised not long since. 



It appears to be a hardy perennial plant, 

 growing tall, and flowering through the 

 greater part of summer. 



It may be increased by cuttings as well 

 as by dividing the roots, and should be 

 planted in light loamy soil.
