18 Chelone glabra.
Chelone glabra is a hardy herbaceous plant, bearing transplantation
in early summer exceedingly well, and continuing to thrive, flower,
and form seed in autumn, if abundantly supplied with water. It
is remarkable that although it is seldom or never found except in
watery places, it thrives well in the exposed borders of gardens, into
which it may be advantageously introduced, requiring no care* after
the first season.
The figure represents a flowering specimen the size of nature.
