No. 564. : 
PYROLA ROTUNDIFOLIA. 
Class. Order, 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We received this little plant from North 
America, of which it is a native, as it also is 
of many of the cold parts of Europe, Scot- 
land among the rest. The roots are slender 
and creeping, by which it may be increased : 
the leaves remain during the winter, and 
the flower stems, which are seldom more 
than six inches in height, appear in July: 
the flowers have a pleasant faint smell. 
It requires to be kept in rich peat earth, 
either in a pot or border, and is of course 
never injured by the cold: in summer it 
should be defended from the meridian sun, 
as in its native state it is found under trees 
or bushes
