Perennial. Juhj. 



Rather larger than the last, with which it nearly agrees m flowers 

 and inflorescence ; but differs evidently and most essentially in 

 foliage. The leaves are indeed of the same grass-green hue ; 

 but they are slender and cylindrical, disposed 3 or 4 together in 

 alternate whorls, spreading, so as to form 6 or 7 rows, or angles, 

 on each branch. They are a little acid or astringent, but have 

 no acrimony. The old authors confounded these two species, 

 and even Mr. Hudson, in his second edition, made this a va- 

 riety of the acre. Matthiolus and Dalechamp give excellent 

 figures, which have hitherto escaped observation. The cut of 

 Camerarius, quoted above under S. acre, admirably expresses 

 that plant, though Linnaeus took it for the scxangulare.
