Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA4. 
This is a native of Carolina and Georgia, 
but is sufficiently hardy to endure our win- 
ters. It isa vigorous growing h 
plant, frequently two feet in height or more. 
The leaves are pointed, smooth, and shining, 
and the flowers usually come out in small 
heads about the month of July. It may be 
increased by dividing the roots in the spring. 
The soil should be loam, and it flourishes 
equally well either in a pot or in the full 
ground.
