This elegant plant would be a very desirable addition ta 
the ornamental perennials, since, if once introduced, it 
would be easily kept and propagated, as the following 
circumstance will clearly prove. The specimen with 
roots taken out of the Herbarium of M. Lewis, Esq. 
was planted by Mr. McMahon of Philadelphia, and 
vegetated for more than one year : but some accident 
happening to it, 1 had not the pleasure of seeing it in 
flower.
