DIGYNIA 



A native of North America, found in 

 damp woods and meadows in Carolina, ac- 

 cording to Michaux : it was first noticed 

 by Walter. 



With us it grows rather more than a foot 

 ill height, and flowers in July and August : 

 it is quite hardy, and may be increased by 

 seeds, or sometimes by separating the roots, 

 which should be planted in loam and peat 

 soil.
