POLYGONUM FRUTESCENS. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA TRIGY NIA. 
A native of Siberia: it is a hardy low 
sh rub 
and small scattered leaves. The flowers, 
which are numerous, and of a lively ap- 
pearance, generally begin to come out in 
July, and last a long time. 
This plant is with difficulty increased, 
and being rather short-lived, is likely to 
remain scarce: while young it succeeds 
very well in a pot, in peat soil.
