The name, Eucharidium, is deduced from the 
Greek eucharis, agreeable. The Latin specific 
name also, is intended to imply that the plant is 
handsome ; hence, we infer that it made a favour- 
able impression on the minds of its nomenclators 
— Fischer and Meyer, botanists of Russia. 
The Eucharidium concinnum, was received into 
the Imperial gardens of St. Petersburg, from the 
Russian colony of Ross, in New California ; and 
from that establishment transmitted to the Horti- 
cultural Society of London ; whence it has been 
distributed to its members. It must be gratifying 
to the philanthropist, as well as the botanist, thus 
to witness the amicable intercourse extended and 
fostered between the inhabitants of distant parts of 
the globe. National amity, as well as individual 
friendships, may thus be engendered and perpet- 
uated. Who cannot appreciate the pleasures of 
communication, through the medium of a garden ! 
This novelty resembles a prostrate plant of 
Clarkia pulchella, but is of more dwarf appearance. 
It may be sown in the open borders, in spring, 
and it will flower and ripen seeds abundantly.
