Root fibrous. Stem long, slender, trailing, scattered over with leaves, 

 which now and then put out roots from their axis, terminating in a 

 dense tuft of crowded leaves, from amidst which arises the scape, and 

 mostly several lateral branches, long or short, which spread around. 

 Leaves of a bright green, somewhat fleshy, and more or less scattered 

 over or fringed on the margins, with soft pale jointed spreading hairs, 

 the lower leaves on flat channeled footstalks, mostly dilated at the 

 base, and cut into three or five more or less linear lobes, but always 

 with a sharp bristly point, by which in all its varieties it is distinguished 

 from S. ccespitosa ; the leaves of the lateral trailing shoots are mostly 

 simple, linear, sometimes three, rarely fire-cleft, and bearing in their 

 axis small buds, and the lobes are short and broad, or long and narrow, 

 and more or less hairy. Scape erect, from one to four inches high, 

 round, smooth or hairy, naked, or bearing one or two distant leaves, 

 sometimes sereral at the base, and either simple or divided, the hairs 

 are either simply jointed, or those towards the top have a glandular
