ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We received seeds of this pretty little 
plant in the year 1818, from M. Carstrom, 
at Stockholm. It is a native of Lapland 
and Siberia ; of course, capable of enduring 
the severest cold. The flowers appear in 
the month of May : they are small, and of 
a bright yellow. The leaves are marked 
with deep veins on their surface, and are 
underneath of a silvery whiteness. It may 
be kept in a small pot in loamy soil and 
occasionally propagated by dividing the 
roots.
