inches high, dividing into smaller brandies, which sustain small 

 while tiowei's, growing in large panicles. It is a native of Germany, 

 France, &c. 



Tlicre is a variety which has the stem more erect, and the lower 

 leaves in threes or fours, the next opposite, and the uppermost 

 alternate. 



The seventh lias a perennial (biennial) root, composed of small 

 white fibres: the stems numerous, weak, prostrate and creeping, 

 about three inches long or somewhat more, branched, in tufts, 

 round, weak, clammy, leafy: the flowering branches erect: the 

 leaves mostly opposite, closely imbricate, sessile, very thick and 

 ileshy, broader than long, convex on the lower, nearly plane on the 

 upper surface, glaucous often Avilh a tinge of purple; dolled and 

 sometimes havino; a net of red veins: on the flowerins branches 

 they are alternate. It is a native of many parts of Europe, aS: 

 France, &c. 



When introduced into a garden, it propagates itself freely upon 

 walls, in waste places, and about ganlen pots; and no plant is 

 better adapted to the purpose of decorating rock-work, as it grows 

 without any trouble, in any aspect, multiplying very much by young 

 shoo'.s, and always looks beautiful. 



The eighth species has also a perennial root: the stems round, 

 leafy, branched at the base, often hanging down, erect at the top: 

 the leaves scattered, allernalc, adnate-sessile, loose at the base, and 

 produced, erect above, compressed, acuminate, extremely succulent, 

 smooth, rather glaucous, frequently tinged with red; the lower ones 

 turned back; when old they easily fall off: the flowers are in a ter- 

 minating subcynied panicle, with many-tlowered branches, for the 

 most part recurved: the flowers erect, bright yellow. It is a native 

 of FiUrope, and is common t ere on walls and thatched roofs, and 

 rocks in the northern counties, flowering in July. 



The ninth is a little smaller than the eighth: the leaves closely 

 imbricate (before floweiing) in five or six rows, glaucous, flatted a 

 liille, acuminate; on the floweiing stem somewhat remote, as in that 

 sort, "all erect, not bent back at tue point. According to VVilheringj
