— 
Sepum hybridum, spurium, and ibericum appear to be 
very nearly allied, and all belong to the first section of the 
Senus, the Planifolia, Anacampseros of Ray and 'Tourne- 
Fort, as well as Haworru ; but the first is described by 
maRrck as having yellow flowers. Ibericum of Sreven 
spurium may perhaps be. mere varieties of each other ; 
and 
but in tbericum the cauline leaves are described as oppo- 
site, and the margins roughish, but not ciliated ; differing 
our plant in the former character, and agreeing with 
it in the latter; in which the leaves were only slightly 
See 
ughened with a cartilaginous margin, and could not be _ 
wate be ciliated.
