Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the South of Europe ; it is a 
pretty herbaceous plant, hardy, and flower- 
ing plentifully during the summer. 
[t was known, and probably cultivated, by 
Gerarde, who has given a representation of 
it, and says it endures from year to year. 
We find it not very long-lived, needing 
and situation, and may be kept either in pots 
or in the open ground.
