than those of ferrugin&mn ; nevertheless, a large shrub of 

 the former, when covered with blossoms, is a highly orna- 

 mental object. 



Native of the Alps of Switzerland, Dauphine, Austria, and 

 Stiria. Flowers in May and June. Should be planted in 

 peat mould. Propagated by offsets, layers, or seeds, which, 

 however, are but rarely perfected with us. As the natural 

 situation of these plants is among the rocks on the summits 

 of lofty mountains, where they insinuate their roots between 

 the crevices of stone, we should recommend a trial of them 

 on old walls, which, when such occur, might often be beau- 

 tifully decorated by planting them with well-chosen subjects. 



Cultivated by Mr. John Tradescant, jun. in 1656.
