This has been mistaken by some for the 
A. villosa; and there certainly is a resem- 
blance between them. By long cultivation, 
however, we have no doubt of their being 
perfectly distinet. The leaves of the present 
species are broader, greener, and smoother, 
though more ciliate at the edges. The 
at the root, which the other never does; it 
is consequently increased far more readily 
than the villosa, is in all respects hardier, 
and much more easily cultivated. It is a 
native of the Austrian Alps, and forms a 
beautiful little rock plant. We keep them 
in small potsin light loam, without any co- 
vering, and in summer exposed to the full 
sun: they flower in the spring, and fre- 
quently a second time in the autumn.
