A very distinct richly coloured species of dwarfish 
growth, recently introduced, and not mentioned in any 
record of our gardens. First published by M. Decandolle 
from samples collected in that part of Siberia which lies 
beyond Lake Baikal, and also in the vicinity of Doroninsk 
in the province of Datiria. Seed has been lately procured 
from the gardens at Moscow through the means of Dr. 
Fischer, and the plant raised in several of the nurseries 
about London, where it is treated as a hardy perennial and 
flowers about June. 
The species does not come strictly under the head of | 
those with the limb of the lower petals entire or even, though
