Found on the coaft of Barbary, the fhores in the vicinity of 
the Dardanelles, in Portugal and the South of France. Not 
enumerated in the Hortus Kewenjis. The bloom has no feent; 
before this appears the whole plant bears a very ftriking re- 
femblance to the Scirpus multicaulis of Dr. Smitu. . By fome 
it has been compared to Diantuus prolifer. In Provence it is 
known by the appellation of Bragalou. : 
' ~~ Flowers in June; here fhould be planted in a warm — 
fheltered fituation in the open ground. According to Donn’s 
Hortus Cantabrigienfis, introduced in 1791. The drawing was 
- made from a plant in Mr. Grevitte’s garden at Paddington; 
where the colle@ion is no lefs valuable from the rare and 
_ Curious plants it contains, than from the liberality with which 
it is rendered fubfervient to {cience by the poffeflor. G.
