compared P. Juliae with P. acaulis owing to the fact that 
in neither of the two is a scape developed. But while they 
agree in this regard, and while in habit they have much in 
common, Mr. Craib remarks that they differ very greatly in 
Jeaf; they may be compared because they are similar, but 
it is doubtful if they can be spoken of as really closely 
allied. P. Juliae is a species which it is easy to propagate 
by means of seeds and still easier to multiply by division of 
the stolon-like growths which are produced from the main- 
stem.
