DID y NAM J A ANGIOSPERMIA 



This charming plant was among those 

 brought by Mr. Douglas from North-West 

 America to the Horticultural Society, of 

 whom we received it. 



It appears to be quite hardy and peren- 

 nial, producing its flowers in May and June, 

 and lasting long in beauty. 



It has not ripened seeds with us, and it 

 would appear increa^ses itself slowly by se- 

 parating the roots- The soil should be 

 light loam.
