I© DIANDRIA. MONOGYNIA. Circa*. 









Stem prostrate, scarcely a finger's length. Leaves heart- 

 shaped, toothed, shining. Different from the C Lutetiana^ but 

 nearly allied to it. Linn. — Only 3 inches high when wild. 

 Calyx, hairs granulated, and ending in a small globule. Grif- 

 fith. — The general opinion that this and the preceding are 

 distinct species, is confirmed by Haller, who tells us, that 

 the C. alpina when cultivated in a garden does .not become 

 the C. lutetiana. , But it has not proved an easy task to point 

 out any certain and invariable differences, as appears by the 

 m^ny alterations ma^e by Linne and others in their specific 

 characters. The calyx and the joints being coloured or not ; 

 the leaves being hairy or smooth, opake or pellucid, toothed 

 or tooth- serrated ; the panicle being one, or more than one ; 

 the plant being simple or branched, upright, or depressed, are 

 circumstances which exist more or less in different specimens 

 of both. Scopoli has justly observed, that the figure of the leaves 

 affords the only specific distinction. In C. lutetiana the leaves 

 are egg-spear-shaped ; in C. alpina, heart-shaped. The latter is 

 also a paler, a more delicate, and a smaller plant, not more than 

 from 5 to 10 inches high, whilst the former, though sometimes 

 nearly as small and as delicate, is generally half a yard high, or 

 more.
