Leaves blunt, lying on the ground. Stem somewhat hairy. 

 Petals blunt, white. Scarcely is any plant subject to such remark- 

 able variations, in appearance as well as size. Sometimes it is 

 exceedingly small, with heart-shaped leaves, flowers collected 

 into a single head, and a strap-shaped leaf at the base. Some- 

 times it produces only a single flower on a sfalk, and sometimes 

 2 of these rise from one root. At other times it bears a number 

 of flowers at the top of the stalk, on fruit-stalks, forming an um- 

 bel, and sometimes it appears twice as large, with a spike com- 

 posed of smaller ones as figured in Ray. But in all these states 

 it is easily distinguishable by its leaves, reddish underneath, and 

 purplish pistils. I have seen the same plant flower thrice in one 

 summer. Mr. Griffith.

Wales and Scotland. Glyder Vawr, near Snowdon. Penn.
