ARENARIA CILIATA, 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA TRIGY NIA. 
This is a little trailing plant, with delicate 
white flowers, which come forth in the 
month of May. Some have called it bien- 
nial, but with us it seems to be more last- 
ing. The leaves are very slightly ciliated 
at the edges. It is a native of several parts 
of Europe, on high mountains, as in Dau- 
phiny, on Mount Cenis, and on Mount 
Abraham, in the Grisons. 
It is readily increased by dividing the 
roots in the spring, and may be kept well 
in a small sized pot in light loam, or is a 
suitable plant to adorn artificial rock work.
