in Nova Scotia, whence I received two roots in 1806. One 

 of these flowered the following year; but though both were 

 planted in their native earth, and kept constantly moist, 

 neither of them appeared again.

Introduced at Mill Hill, in 1806, along with the iast plant, 

 and equally difficult to cultivate. I would advise any one, 

 who is so lucky as to obtain either of them hereafter, to 

 plant the roots in a bog wet enough for Drosera Longifolia, 

 which came up in the soil sent with them from Nova Scotia.

This is one of the rarest indigenous plants of our island, 

 but not difficult to cultivate ; for it lived and flowered many 

 years in Sir Brooke Booth by's garden, near Lichfield. It 

 grows wild in fir-woods, and succeeds best in sandy peat, not 

 much exposed to the rays of the sun, especially if the mosses 

 and smaller weeds, which naturally spring up, are not re- 

 moved too frequently. About once a year, a little fresh 

 sand, mixed with very decayed leaves, should be scattered 

 over the border.
