CHRYSANTHEMUM ARCTICUM. 
Class. Order. 
SYNGENESIA SUPERFLUA. 
A native of Kamtschatka and other parts 
of the Russian Empire: we received the 
seeds from Mr. Contenius of Catharinoslaf. 
Itis a hardy herbaceous plant, growing 
about a foot high, and flowering in July. 
Willdenow observes that the cultivated 
plant has branches, whereas in its wild state 
the stalk is one-flowered. It may be readily 
increased by separating the roots in the 
spring, and will grow in almost any soil.
