yellow: anthers attached by their back to the fila- 

 ments: pollen bright yellow. Germen densely tomen- 

 tose. Style smooth, twisted at the base, a little longer 

 than the stamens. Stigma capitate, granularly fim- 

 briate. 



The present plant is nearly related to H. lineare, and 

 also to H. apenninum ; from the former it differs in its 

 much whiter leaves, and in being more hairy ; and 

 from both by its imbricate paper-white petals ; it is a 

 very pretty plant for the adorning of rock- work, and 

 continues in flower a great part of the Summer ; it is 

 also pretty hardy, standing our milder Winters in the 

 open air without protection ; but it is sometimes in- 

 jured in the more severe ones ; so that it is the safest 

 way to have a few plants in pots, to be protected in 

 frames, or to be covered with mats in sharp frosty 

 weather. It succeeds well in any light sandy soil, or a 

 mixture of sandy loam and peat will suit it very well ; 

 and young cuttings, planted under hand-glasses in 

 Autumn, strike root readily. Our drawing was made 

 from a plant at the Nursery of Messrs. Whitley , Brames, 

 and Milne, last Summer.
