at Chelsea, several plants of it having been raised by 

 Mr. W. Anderson, from seeds that he received from 

 Germany ; it is nearly related to H. alpestre, but is suf- 

 ficiently distinguished by its weaker growth, much 

 narrower leaves, and smaller flowers, the petals of 

 which are distinct, and not imbricate as in H. alpestre. 

 It is a very pretty plant for the ornamenting of rock- 

 work, taking up but little room, so that it requires to 

 be planted in a conspicuous situation; it also does 

 very well, and makes a pretty appearance, when culti- 

 vated in small pots, requiring a light sandy soil ; 

 young cuttings of it, planted under hand-glasses, strike 

 root readily ; it may also be increased by seeds, which 

 should be sown the beginning of April, and as soon as 

 up, be pricked off in small pots, and as they increase 

 in size to be shifted into larger ones, they will then 

 make fine plants the first season.
