SEDUM. 



S. Hildebrandii comes from Southern Europe, and is about 8 inches 

 tall with sprays of bright yollow blossom. 



S. himalaiense stands close to 8. atropurpureum, a coarse and weedy 

 plant, differing chiefly in the greater laxity of its deep-purple-flowered 

 cymes, ample and leafy, and about a foot high or more. 



S. hirsutum wears glandular down over the whole growth, and is 

 otherwise like a diminished S. album with pink flowers. 



S. hispanicum= 8 . glaucum, q.v. 



S. hispidum=8. hirsutum. 



8. humifusum comes from Mexico, and lies on the floor, and is no 

 more than 2 mches high, with yellowish blossoms in July. 



8. humile is a quite minute Rhodiola from the highest alps of 

 Sikkim, sending up many stems of an inch or two set with narrow- 

 oblong foliage, and ending, usually, in a solitary large flower. 



8. hybridum comes a twin to 8. aeizoon, but its pistils are green 

 after flowering and not empurpled, while the shoots never branch 

 before they reach the concave-rayed head of yellow. It runs about 

 and creeps freely, blooming in July. 



S. ibericum=S. stoloniferum, q.v. 



8. integrifolium=S. Rhodiola. 



8. involucratum belongs to the same style as 8. spurium, making 

 wide running mats of branches that end in dense heads of specially 

 starry-pointed white flowers, with the last scalloped leaves standing 

 like a frill round the blossom-clusters. 



S. japonicum senanense is a little reddish-leaved 8. acre with splayed 

 heads of white stars, which is found on the rocks of Japan. 



8. hamschaticum is the well-known orange-coloured 8. spurium that 

 makes so good a companion for it in the garden, blooming (as does all 

 the group) hi later summer. There is a variegated variety of this. 



8. Kiriloivii is said to have red flowers in July and a height of 

 8 inches. 



S. Kotschyi makes no appeal for admittance. 



8. laconicum is a most inferior version of 8. acre, verging towards 

 the worthlessness of S. annuum and not unlike it. 



8. Lampusae lives in crevices in Cyprus. It is a monocarpic rosette 

 hi the way of 8. pilosum, but with pink flowers in a very narrow branch- 

 ing spike of a foot or 18 inches high. 



8. latifolium is a variety of S. maximum, q v. 



S. Liebmannianum is 2 inches high, with yellow blooms in August. 

 (Mexico.) 



8. linearifolium is an Indian Rhodiola, with erect stems of 4 

 or 5 inches, densely sot with overlapping narrow-oblong leaves, some
