LEDUM PALUSTRE. 
Slain Order, 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the North of Europe: it is a 
branching shrub of low growth, not often 
exceeding two feet in height: the leaves, 
which are evergreen, have a powerful smell, 
they are of a dusky green, and in frosty 
weather hang down close to the stem. It is 
very hardy, and may be increased by layers. 
It thrives best if planted in a border com- 
posed of half peat earth and half loam.
