of its leaves, and in their situation upon the stem. Mr. 

 Bentham has remarked, in his Critical Catalogue of Hit 

 Plants of the Pyrenees, that the upper leaves are almost 

 always verticillate, and that very often they are all so. 



We are chiefly induced to give a figure of this species 

 from no representation of it having yet found its way into 

 any English work. 



It is an annual, and very well adapted to ornamenting 

 rock-work : it also grows well in the common border. Our 

 drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society, where it had been received from a continental 

 Botanic Garden, under the erroneous name of S. Guet- 

 tardi.
