light soil, growing to the height of a foot or eighteen 
inches, and continues to flower for a considerable time. 
It may be increased by dividing at the root, or by seeds, 
which ripen plentifully. 
The plant from which our drawing and description 
were taken, was kindly communicated to us by Mr. 
William Anderson, the worthy curator of the Apothe- 
caries' Company's garden, at Chelsea, last summer. 
The stipules are not all connected at the base, as de- 
scribed by M. Decandolle ; we have more frequently 
found them distinct ; which is also the case with G. 
IVallicManum, which also appears to be quite hardy, as 
we have had it and the G. pilosum, from New Zealand, 
both planted out in the open ground, where it sur- 
vived well all last winter, and flowered this summer 
much finer than in pots. When we published the latter 
species, we were not certain whether it was a perennial 
or annual plant ; we now have ascertained it to be 
strictly perennial, with a large fleshy root.
