This is, perhaps, the most splendid species of columbine ever introduced, as 

 the flowers are of a rich scarlet and green. It is most nearly allied to A. 

 canadensis, but is very superior in size and beauty. It appears " to be 

 perfectly hardy, having survived the severe winter of 1840-1, in the open 

 ground at Woburn, and flowered in great beauty during the summer and 

 autumn of 1841." {Bot. Mag., Jan.)

"A hardy perennial, growing about 18 in. high, and requiring the same 

 treatment as Anemone ritifolia, like which it suffers in winter more from 

 moisture than from cold." It may be raised from seeds ; but, as they do not 

 flower till the second year, it is more easily propagated by dividing the root.

This is a species of hellebore with purplish flowers, which is supposed to be 

 the celebrated poison of the ancients. It is doubtless " hardy, although at 

 present, on account of its great rarity, it has been kept in the greenhouse." It 

 "requires rather a damp shady situation, with peaty soil to grow in." (Bot. 

 Reg., June.)
