PACHYSANDRA PROCUMBENS. 



This is from North America: it grows 

 in shady rocky situations in the Alleghany 

 mountains. The leaves remain during the 

 winter, it being a kind of half shrubby 

 plant. The flowers come out in March and 

 April : they are curious, but not very shewy. 

 The plant is perfectly hardy, and may be 

 kept either in a pot or in the ground, in 

 loam and peat soil. It increases sparingly 

 by dividing its roots.
