Of this genus, two fpecies only have as yet been difcovered,<br />

the one a native <strong>of</strong> Great-Britain, the other here figured the<br />

produce <strong>of</strong> Siberia and Cappadocia, both hardy, perennial,<br />

herbaceous plants; the latter, more particularly, from the<br />

bright orange colour <strong>of</strong> its flowers, held in high eftimation as<br />

an ornamental plant, and flowering in May and June. This<br />

fpecies, as yet rare in this country, is ufually propagated by<br />

parting its roots in autumn ; it may alfo be raifed from feeds,<br />

which ripen frequently on ftrong healthy plants: to fucceed<br />

in its cultivation, we mould plant it in a comp<strong>of</strong>ition <strong>of</strong> loam<br />

and bog earth, and place it in a north border, taking care<br />

that it does not fuffer from want <strong>of</strong> watering in dry fummers,1<br />
