 SAXIFRAGA VIRGINIENSIS 



Class, Order. 



DECANDRIA DIG YJSIA. 



This pretty little spring plant is a native 

 of North America: it grows, as Pursh in- 

 forms us, on dry hills from New England to 

 Virginia, and is also found in Carolina on 

 mountains; With us it is perfectly hardy, 

 and easily preserved in a small pot in light 

 loamy soil, with a portion of old morter. It 

 flowers in March, and is increased by di- 

 viding the roots.
