We received this plant in the spring of 

 1830, from Philadelphia: it is found, as 

 Pursh informs us, in exsiccated swamps 

 and mountain meadows, from Pensylvania 

 to Carolina. It grows about a foot in height, 

 and flowers in July: we have cultivated it 

 m a pot in loam and peat earth, with a 



portion of sawdust. It should be placed in a 



shady position in summer, and preserved 

 during winter in a frame.
