This species varies almost without end, but may always be 
distinguished from the pistillaris, by growing from one base and 
being extremely branched. Mr. Woopwarp. All the above 
plants are very brittle and tender, and it is said may be admit- 
ted to our tables ; the white ones and grey ones I know may be 
_ gaten with safety.
