This whole plant is, as it were, a reprefentation in miniature of 
Sempervivum arboreum, but more lax and diffufe. It is abundantly 
diftinguifhed from that fpecies by its annual root, herbaceous pu- 
befcent ftem, and fpreading panicle. The flowers are yellow, and: 
agree pertectly with the generic character of Sempervivum,, not 
with that of Sedum. 3
