the petals are exprefsly faid to be patent. The Gypsophila 

 adfcendens of Jacqu in is probably not different from this ; for 

 the length of the ftamens and piftils is not to be depended upon, 

 that of the latter varying much in the fame plant, according as 

 the flower has been expanded a longer or fhorter period, not 

 in this plant only, but in the whole natural order. 



A hardy perennial, adapted to ornament rock-work. Blooms 

 all the fummer months. Our drawing was taken at Mr. Sa- 

 lisbury's Botanic Garden.
