In meadows and pastures, on a gravelly or sandy soil. 



Perennial. Maij. 



Root granulated, whitish. Stem a foot high, hollow, viscid, loosely 

 hairy ; simple, and most leafy, below -, panicled at the top. 

 Leaves stalked, rather fleshy, about an inch wide, kidney-shaped, 

 with broad lobes and notches, often richly tinted with brown or 

 red, like the panicle and calyx ; the upper ones small and wedge- 

 shaped. Fl. several, in a corymbose, hairy, glutinous panicle, 

 nearly erect, large, white, accompanied by lanceolate hracteas. 

 Cat. surrounding the germen, obtuse, moderately spreading. 

 Petals spatulate, unspotted, triple- ribbed ; the lateral ribs 

 branched. Germen half-inferior. Stigmas large, convex, con- 

 spicuously downy, in which character, as well as in habit, this 

 species answers generally to the numerous following ones, justly 

 considered by Mr. D. Don as the genuine type of their genus. 



An elegant double-flowered variety is often cultivated. 



Haller's n. 976 proves, by Swiss specimens, to include S. bulbifera. 

 Yet the granulata was found in that country by Mr. Davall, 

 though very rarely.
