i86 ALPINE FLOWERS AND ROCK GARDENS. 



This precious plant thrives in gritty loam in a sunny 

 spot, and may be increased by division. 



Wallacei (syn. Camposi.) — A Spanish species, 

 moss-like in structure, and the finest of the Dactyloides 

 section. It does not surpass hypnoides as a carpeter, 

 but the flowers are much finer and a broad mass is a 

 beautiful object when in full bloom. The flowers are 

 white, and are borne on short stems in May. It will 

 grow in ordinary soil, may be increased by division, and 

 readily takes its place as one of the most useful and 

 beautiful of the Saxifrages.
