Ozs. Dr. Smith has done well in removing this 
plant from Sempervivum to Sedum, as above 
stated ; and in finding fault with the first edi- 
tion of Hortus kewensis for not doing so; 
and, which is now still more faulty, in per- 
severing in such error, in the second edition;

ted to inform us, that the Encycíop. bot. 
Persoon in his compact Synopsis) had

its true genus, and with an admirable name : 
for in stature it far p its kindred species.
