by the friendly aid and kind participation of Dr Russell, 
whose memory I have faintly endeavoured to commemorate in 
the specific name of a beautiful species of 3Ionarda. But re- 
lentless death, whose withering hand delights to pluck the 
fairest flowers, added, in the fleeting space of a few short days, 
another trophy to his mortal garland ; and Russell, the only 
hope of a fond and widowed mother, the last of his name and 
family, now sleeps obscurely in unhallowed earth." 
This plant is found very easy of cultivation, being kept in 
a shady part of the greenhouse. It will probably prove suffi- 
ciently hardy to bear the outer air, as the other species of the 
genus.
