Class. Order. 
DIDYNAMIA  ANGIOSPERMIA. 
This is a hardy herbaceous plant, a native 
of North America: it was introduced in 
1752, and flowers freely in the latter part of 
the summer, growing from one to two feet 
high. It loves moisture, being found, by 
Pursb's account, in rivulets on the high 
by 
roots in the spring, and should be planted 
in rich loam, thriving better in the full 
ground than in a pot.
