On the Cultivation of Rare Plants. 



abundantly increased by him, both before and after he left 

 Eltham; among other gardens, he sent it to Dr. Richard- 

 son's as North Bierly, where I got my roots. It is a hardy 

 plant, thriving in almost any soil, especially a deep hazel 

 loam ; but as the leaves appear above ground earlier than 

 those of the two following species, they are often nipt at the 

 end by very severe frosts

If the synonyms with a mark of interrogation belong to 

 this species, it grows wild in the meadows of Mont D'Or, 

 Orcival, and near the sources of the Dordogne, extending 

 itself as far as Geneva : but my only authority for this guess 

 is a specimen sent to me from Switzerland by Mr. Davall, 

 nor am I sure of that being a wild one. It was cultivated 

 both here and at Paris, early in the sixteenth century; and 

 is now sometimes brought to Covent Garden in nosegays, 

 mixed with the following, being equally hardy. No modern 

 figure of it has yet been published.
