ASTRAGALUS LEONTINUS, 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This beautiful plant is a native of Austria 
and Switzerland, from which latter place we 
received it. Its stature is diminutive, the 
stalks lying on the ground, and the flowers 
not rising more than two inches from it, in 
heads of from twelve to fifteen flowers or 
more. They come out about Midsummer. 
The plant is quite hardy, and may be pre- 
served very well in a pot in light loam ; or 
if planted out, it will grow larger, and pro- 
bably bear seed, without which it cannot be 
ane as the root will not divide.
