member. Its habit is more robust than that of either parent,
and the colour of the flowers, as might be expected, exactly
intermediate, being of a rich purple. The plant does not
produce seeds, but it appears to grow freely, and is easily
increased by parting the roots. It is equally hardy with L.
fulgens, and, like the other North American species of the
genus, it delights in a soil composed of two parts of peat, or
vegetable earth, one of loam, and another of river sand.
The generic name is already explained at fol. 86.
