A native of North America. It is 

 perennial, having a kind of tuberous 

 root, with a stem of from six to nine 

 inches in height, producing three leaves, 

 from the centre of which arises a single 

 flower, in April or May. It was cult.- 

 vated by Miller, but has always been rare. 

 We preserve it in a frame in winter. It 

 may be occasionally separated for increase. 

 The soil should be loam and peat.
