F In globiferum the young rosettes are all produced by 
stoutish runners clothed with leaves, very like those of 
the flowering stem, only smaller, but in soboliferum small 
globular rosettes grow on very slender threads, which soon 
break and suffer ies to roll off, making distinct plants, not 
at all connected with the mother plant; but some larger 
and less globular rosettes are produced on runners; these are 
however, generally, perhaps always, without leaves. 
We received our present plant from Mr. Wittiam Kenr’s 
collection, at Clapton, in June last, by the name of hirtum, 
but we consider it as only a variety of globiferum before 
figured ; from which, however, it differs in the smaller size 
of the flowers ; in the petals being only twelve in number ; 
in the whole plant being more villous and of a paler colour, 
especially the leaves of the flowering stems. In all tiese 
respects it corresponds better with Jacguin’s figure ; on 
which account we consider it as variety («.) and our former 
figure as representing var. (@.) . 
{2 Sempervivum montanum appears to approach very near to 
our present plant, except in the colour of the flowers, which
