No. 872. 
SOLDANELLA CLUSII. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We received this beautiful little plant in 
1821, from the botanical garden at Schwetz- 
ingen. It is a native of the mountains of 
Bohemia. The leaves are very small, and 
the flower-stem not above an inch in height, 
supporting a single blossom: the corolla is 
ventricose, and its incisions are not deep. 
The Soldanella alpina minor of Clusius, 
Hist. 1. 309, can scarcely be this plant; 
the leaves resemble, but the stems are three 
flowered in his figure, and the corollas 
deeply jagged, in both which circumstances 
it differs entirely from ours. 
It seems to be quite hardy, and may be 
kept in a pot in light loam, admitting of 
occasional increase by partition of the roots; 
this should be performed in spring after 
flowering, which usually takes place in 
ril.
