A low shrubby plant, resembling in appearance some 
kind of Salt-plant, and having certainly no kind of simili- 
tude, either in external or- analytical characters, to any 
species of Hypericum. The flowers are bright purple, and 
appear in the summer months. 
Found growing in wild barren places in Syria, by M. 
Labillardière. 
We have had no opportunity of describing the plant.
