frozen to the ground in Central Pennsylvania and 
yet grow up again from the root, and flower during 
the succeeding August. They are well worth cel- 
lar or shed room in winter, and may then be kept 
cool and dry, planting them in the ground, if possi- 
ble, before growth commences. In this way they 
may be grown to a good size northwards, and 
will flower abundantly. 
Punica, the pomegranate, is regarded as a 
somewhat anomalous genus. It is a well-known 
plant, formerly cultivated more commonly than 
now. It stands on walls in the vicinity of

London, and remains evergreen there, as seems to 
be its nature. At the middle south it grows to a 
good s’ze in some varieties, ripens its fruit, but be- 
comes deciduous. The pomegranate is East Indian, 
but has been cultivated in all warm countries, and 
varied a good deal. 
Epilobium, “willow herbs," have sixty species, 
distributed over the temperate regions of the earth, 
with several species extending to regions that are 
rather intemperate in climate at times. About 
twenty species are found in the United States, half 
of which are northern. About the same number 
are cultivated in the best botanic gardens. The 
one most commonly seen- is E. augustifolium, com- 
mon to all extra tropical pa r ts of the northern 
hemisphere. It grows to six or eight feet high in 
gardens, varies somewhat from shades of purple to 
white, and produces its flowers in fine, long termi- 
nal racemes, which endure for a long time in suita- 
ble climates E. hirsutum is the British “codlings 
and cream,” naturalized in Canada and the New 
England States. E. luteum and E. obcordatum are 
grown in gardens, being about all of our native 
kinds so honored. In suitable soils these plants 
spread greatly, and are best in beds that can be 
mown around. 
Zauchneria Californica is a rr.onotypic plant 
growing to two or three feet high, and with flowers 
whose structure resembles the former genus, but 
with a colored calyx, axillary scarlet flowers, and 
projecting styles like fuchsias, some of which it re- 
sembles in habit. It has endured northern winters 
now and again with protection. 
Jussiaea and Ludw gia contain a few large flow- 
ered aquatics southwards. 
Clarkia has five species and several garden va- 
rieties of Californian and Western States annuals, 
some of which are double. They are a good deal 
grown and appreciated in Europe, but le^s com 
monly in the Atlantic States, whose climates in 
some hygrometrical or other particulars often 
seems but ill adapted to the perpetuation of Pacific 
coast plants. 
CEnothera (including godetia), “evening prim- 
rose,” are in 100 species of annuals and perennials, 
which are most likely all temperate American. Lo- 
cal botanists have credited them to the mountains 
of India, Tasmania -and to Britain, but they are 
almost certainly adventive. CE. biennis is or used 
to be abundant in some places on the western coast 
of England, and was included by Lindley in his 
synopsis of the British Flora as a native, but there 
seems to be traditions of its introduction during 
the reign of Charles I. It is also sung by British 
poets, just as though it belonged to them. They
