We received seeds of this plant in the 
year 1822, from Mr. Carstròm, of Stock- 
holm, under the name of Lychnis alpina,

stem is round, and nearly a foot in height, 
and the flowers grow in loose forked 
bunches: the petals are cloven, and are 
scarcely the length of the calyx. The root 
seems to be perennial : it is of course quite

increased by separating the roots, or by 
seeds. E
