This is a native of North America; ac- 
cording to Michaux, from Pennsylvania to 
Carolina, growing in moist grounds. It is

> 
seldom sent over. 
It flowered with us in August: the stem 
was little more than a foot high; the 
are scarcely an inch long, at 
their insertion, where they more than half 
embrace the slender stem, tapering to a 
point, and usually in an erect posture. . 
It is increased with difficulty : the root 
being small and not safely admitting of 
division, the soil should be sandy peat; and 
as it is not hardy, it should be kept in a 
frame in winter.
