Fries says, “radix omnino annua,” but there is no doubt, so 
far as the English specimens are concerned, that the plant is 
either annual or biennial, according to the locality. Dr. Nord- 
stedt, in a letter to Mr. Arthur Bennett, says :--“I think this 
species varies much in habit; when seeds grow early in spring it 
is annual; when late in summer, biennial; and in favourable 
localities perennial, by means of winter-shoots.” Mr. W. Whit- 
well says (in Journ. Bot. 1889, p. 357) :—' With A. serpyllifolia 
it could scarcely be confounded. From A. ciliata it may be 
separated by the leaves being sparser, and not appressed to the 
stem in the lower part (as they usually are in A. ciliata) ; the 
veins are not ne irly so prominent; the armature of the stem is 
much more like that of A. serpyllifolia than of 4. ciliata; the 
capsules are larger and longer, and the seeds are larger. From 
4. norvegica it may be known by the whole surface of the plant 
being more hairy, with transparent gland-like hairs, the margins 
of the leaves more ciliated, with curved hairs; the seeds more 
compressed, smailer, and not so dark (or perhaps the present 
specimens have not fully ripened ?)."
