 glabris et radice perenni, satis differt. I found this new Scleranthus 

 on Mount Etna, grow ing in tufts upon the lava and volcanic sand 

 on the edge of the snow, a little below the Casa Inglese, at an ele- 

 vation of about 9000 feet above the sea. It was the last phaeno- 

 gamous plant which I observed on that mountain, May 24, 1826.
