PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This little plant is from Switzerland : we 
received it about four years since, from Mr. 
Schleicher, of Bex: it differs from V. ca- 
nina, to which species it is the nearest allied. 
The months of May and June are the 
season of its flowering: the blossoms are 
ornamental, and being a plant of easy cul- 
i I i collection : 
ture, it is 
it may be increased by separating the root, 
and thrives very well in light loam ina pot, 
requiring no protection at any season.
