bent, fimbriate. Style smooth, about the length of the
shortest stamens. Stigma a simple point. Seeds 4,
naked, angular, enclosed in the calyx.
This pretty herbaceous plant is a native of Hungary;
It ^ quite hardy, and flowers from June to August,
and sometimes continues in bloom till October; it
seldom exceeds 6 or 9 inches in height; but the
branches spread round to a considerable distance, so
that It IS requisite to cut it back in Winter, to keep it
within bounds. It succeeds well in the common garden
soil, and will grow in rather a shady situation, where
many plants that are more tender will not thrive. It is
readily increased by dividing at the root, or by seeds,
which ripen plentifully.
Our drawing was taken from a plant at the Garden
belonging to the Apothecaries’ Company, at Chelsea,
last Summer.
