 — Certainly ;i boautiiiil distinct Genus, with liabit 

 of HexapliotiKi^ which Smith tells us Linneus 

 meant to establish : 1 did the same before 

 knowing of this. The type is Riipifraga Sar- 

 mentosa L. herb, of China and Japan, well 

 known in our gardens with round lobate leaves. 

 It is i^axlfraga ^arnnentosa L. et Auct. Curtis 

 b. m. 92. S. stolonifera Jaq. Meers t. 23. &.c. 

 It is as different from Saxifraga as Iberis is 

 from Alyssum.
