This elegant plant is a native of North 
America, and, according to Dr. Barton, 
who has figured it iz his Flora, it grows on 
the sides of stony kills, that are covered 
with underwood and smal) trees, which 
admit the sun through their leaves and 
branches to the ground, and is found from 
Delaware to Canada, becoming more 
frequent towards the north. 
It flowers with us in May, and is a most 
delicate and curious plant: it is cultivated 
with difficulty in soil composed of sandy 
peat, decayed sawdust, and loam, in equal 
portions. 1t is perennial, and requires no 
protection from the cold of winter.
