Descr. 7?oc/ perennial. Leaves growing thick together, 

 oblong-elliptic, dilated at the bafc, flcfhy, rigid, quite entire, 

 with a very narrow white cartilaginous margin, mining on the 

 upper furface, whitifh on the under. ' Scape fhorter than the

 in an umbel. Braftes one to each flower, linear and longer 

 than the pedicle. Calyx cylindrical, longer than the pedicle, 

 coloured at the upper part, five-toothed ; teeth erefr, obtufe, 

 frequently emarginate. Corolla funnel-fhaped : tube longer 

 than the calyx, fwollen in the middle and expanded upwards : 

 limb patent, five-cleft : lacinise obcordate, veined. Filaments 

 red, fhort, inferted into the tube: anthers erect-incumbent: 

 .pollen deep yellow. Ovary globofe, ftyle half the length or

We doubt whether the fynonyms from Haller, Lamarck, 

 and Allion 1, belong to our plant, which was raifed by Mr* 

 Loddices from feeds fent him from Auftria feveral years ago, 

 and is certainly the one defcribed by Jacquin and long before 

 by Clusius. A hardy perennial, increafing rapidly by offsets 

 from the roots, but very rarely flowering with us.
