Claytonia alsinoides. 



I have growing in a pot a living plant, or rather, plants, of this beautiful 

 succulent annual. It has, since last May, when I brought it from the Wood 

 of Scone, been constantly in flower up to the present time. It sheds its 

 seeds immediately after fliowering ; so I expect next year in my little spot 

 of earth to have a fine crop of my little favourite. John Sim. 



OsMUNDA Luzon (74) repens Jumarice folio. 



" F. Kamel, amongst his last manuscripts, sent me this, under the title of 

 Fumaria capillaris. I take it to be a flowering Fern, and his description 

 (as well as design) seems to favour my conjecture." — From Petiver, tab. 47, 

 fig. 8. 



Can any reader identify this plant ?
