The Herbarium specimens of this succulent plant are too 
imperfect to figure, and therefore I gladly avail myself of a 
flowering root in the Royal Gardens of Kew, raised from seeds 
sent by Dr. Royle; and from that the accompanying represen- 
tation is taken. Eight or ten such erect and simple, leafy stems, 
arise from the summit of a very thick, woody root, or, more 
properly speaking perhaps, rhizoma. Leaves scattered, lanceo- 
late, acute, plane but fleshy, and very coarsely and irregularly 
serrated. Cyme much branched and leafy, forming a broad, 
hemispherical-head of yellow flowers, bearing small leaves upon 
the branches. Calyx of 5 deep segments. Petals 5, lanceolate, 
spreading. Stamens 10. Hypogynous glands 5, large, emargi- 
nate. Pistils 5. The habit of this plant is very similar to that 
of our Rhodiola rosea (Sedum Rhodiola, De Cand.) It is the 
Sedum Asiaticum of Wallich’s Catalogue n. 7329 (according to 
my Herbarium); but it is not the plant of De Candolle (the 
Rhodiola Asiatica of Don), which has « linear-ligulate, entire, 
obtuse, leaves, and a few-flowered umbel., 
tacts a f. 2. Calyx, pistils, and hypogynous glands :—
