295. 1. 4, omit " I believe there is no ]3ermanent distinc- 

 tion between the two." I have, in the very ex- 

 cellent and well-conducted garden at Bury St. 

 Edmund's, recently compared these plants. 

 The seeds of S. conoidea are twice as large as those 

 of conica, and wrinkled in a different manner.

A. rubella. Little Red Sandwort.

 Calyx-leaves with three equal ribs; longer than 

 the petals. 

 Alsine rubella. Wahlenh. Lapp. 128. t. 6. 

 In the Highlands of Scotland. 

 Near the summit of Ben Lawers. Mr. J. Mackay. On 



Craig Challeoch. Dr. GreviUe. 

 Perennial. June. 



Very nearly allied to A. verna, to which, as a dwarf alpine 

 variety, 1 had referred the specimens sent by the late 

 Mr. J. Mackay, in 1796. Dr. Greville however, who, 

 with a pupil of Dr. Hooker's, of whose name 1 am not 

 informed, gathered the same on Craig Challeoch in 

 June 1824, at once recognized it, as Wahlenberg's 

 Alsine rubella. The petals are said to be reddish, of 

 which no traces remain in my dried ones. The plant 

 forms dense tufts, each with a long central root. Stems 

 very numerous, ascending, two or three inches high, 

 leafy, downy at the summit, each bearing a solitary 

 Jlower, which is the chief difterence I can find between 

 this and the verna, the structure of their flowers being 

 the same. Tlie leaves of rubella are perhaps rather 

 shorter and blunter. I have never seen a Uving spe- 

 cimen.
