LinnAa. Dr. J. F. Gronovius, with the con- 

 currence of Liunseus, selected this little de- 

 pressed, abject, early-flowering, long-over- 

 looked northern plant, to transmit the illus- 

 trious name of Linnaeus to posterity. Linn. 

 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Oaprifoliaccm. This ele- 

 gant little plant is not only a native of the 

 land which gave birth to Linnseus, but also of 

 Lapland, Norway, Russia, Germany, Switzer- 

 land, Savoy, Siberia, &c. In Scotland, the 

 plant was first found in an old fir-wood at 

 Inglismaldie, on the borders of Mearns-shire, 

 in 1795, aud since then in several similar 

 situations in the highlands of Scotland. In 

 North America, it has been found in a number 

 of districts, but most plentiful in Canada. 

 It should be grown in a peat border, in a 

 shady situation, where it will grow and flower 

 freely. It will also grow luxuriantly in large 

 pots, filled with peat earth ; it is easily in- 

 creased by separating the creeping stems when 

 rooted. The American plants are commonly 

 stronger than the European ones .

 sand, under a glass, in heat,
