PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This beautiful little plant is a native of 
the Alps: its stems, which are uncommonly 
slender, almost capillary, are about four 
inches in height : they are leafy, and each 
bearing from two to four flowers: the leaves 
are awl-shaped, and nearly alike in form. 
The corolla is divided about half its 
length, and the divisions rolled togetherfora 
small space at the base, which gives them a 
remarkable, scooped-out, appearance. 
We received our plant from the continent 
last year, and it flowered in the month of 
July. It appears to be sufficiently hardy to 
endure our winters, and succeeds very well 
in a small pot in light loamy soil. It may 
be increased by separating its roots in the 
spring, before they have advanced too far in 
their growth.
