which certainly very much resembles our plant, except in 
the number of stamens being only five, in the cauline 
leaves being opposite, and in the eolour of the flowers, 
which are described as white. , 
Though our plant does not correspond with the specific 
character, in the single circumstance of the leaves not 
having ciliated margins, we do not hesitate to refer it to 
SEpuM spurium; the more especially, as it agrees well with 
the figure quoted from Buxsaum, and bears the strong 
resemblance to Crassuna crenata of Desronraines insisted 
on by Marscwatt. <= 
Sepum spurium does not occur in the last edition of 
Arron’s Hortus Kewensis. Native of Caucasus; growing 
on the rocks about the hot springs of the Constantine 
mountain, and abundantly near the summit of Mount 
Beschtan. A hardy perennial, well adapted to ornament 
rock-work. Communicated last October from the Botanic 
Garden at Bury St. Edmunds, by N. Hopson, Esq.
