No. 1058. 
KALMIA HIRSUTA. 
Class. : Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Carolina and Georgia: ac- 
cording to Elliott, it grows in wet sandy 
pine barrens. It is a low shrub of very 
delicate habit, and although introduced in. 
1790, by the late Mr. Watson of Islington, 
it has never been yet successfully eultivated 
in England. Our only plant which afforded 
us the drawing, was raised from a cutting, 
and is now seven or eight years old, about 
a foot in height, and has flowered twice. It 
has been kept in the greenhouse, and potted 
in very sandy peat.
