OROBUS COCCINEUS. 
Class. Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This is a very pretty dwarf species; the 
leaves are in pairs, and the stalks do not 
rise quite a foot in height: the flowers are 
axillary and single, usually not more than 
two on each stalk. 
It is a hardy herbaceous piant, the native 
country of which we are not acquainted 
with. It flowers in the months of April 
and May, and seems inclined to ripen its 
seeds with us, by which we hope to be able 
to increase it: it thrives in light loamy soil.
