Wahlenberg observes justly, that though the portions of the 

 stem above the earth appear simple, many of them really arise 

 from a common root. These stems have a singular appearance, 

 from the leaves, which become gradually longer towards the 

 extremity and are of a shining yellow green, not changing their

Stems short, rarely exceeding two or three lines, often 

 bearing innovations, and more frequently throwing out sterile 

 shoots from among the roots. The leaves want the bright 

 green colour of the congeners, arid exhibit, under the micro-
