DID YNAMJA G YMNOSPERMIA 



As the name denotes, this is a native of 

 the Pyrenees: it was introduced in 1800. 

 It is a herbaceous plant of low growth and 

 considerable beauty, sufficiently hardy to 

 endure our ordinary winters. It flowers in 

 May, and may be increased by dividing the 

 roots, or by seeds. The soil should be light 

 loam.
