This splendid plant is a native of the 

 North-West coast of America. It was 



discovered by Mr. Menzies, and afterwards 

 introduced, in 1826, by Air. Douglas, to 



the Horticultural Society, who gave it to 



us. It appears to be herbaceous and quite 



F 



hardy, growing bushy, and producing 

 great quantities of flowers from June till 

 the approach of winter. It may be in- 

 creased by seeds, which ripen in this coun- 

 try, and frequently come up spontaneously 

 round the plant, which will thrive in any 

 good garden soil.
