This is a native of Siberia : it was com- 

 municated in 1817 by our excellent friend, 

 Dr. Fischer, of the Imperial Botanic Gar- 

 den, St. Petersburg. It is a neat little 

 herbaceous plant, growing- to four or five 

 inches in height, and producing its pleasing 

 flowers in July and August. It will pro- 

 bably increase by cuttings or separating 

 the root, as well as by seed. The soil 



should be light loam. It is of course quite 

 hardy.
