No. 648. 
VACCINEUM BUXIFOLIUM. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNI1A. 
A native of North America: Pursh says, 
in dry woods on limestone rocks, in the 
western parts of Virginia, near Winchester 
and the sweet springs. It is a very pretty 
little plant, growing with us to about a foot 
high, and flowering in the spring: it is 
somewhat tender, and occasionally subject 
to go off, especially with too much wet. 
It may be increased by layers, and should 
be planted in a border of sandy peat earth.
