SPECIES III— S EDXJM VILLOSUM. Linn. 

 Plate DXXVIII. 



Biennial. Flowering-stems simple or branched, without barren 

 shoots. Barren shoots only on plants of the year, erect, terminating 

 in a rosette. Leaves oblong-linear, thickened, semicylindrical, 

 not spurred at the base. Flowers white, in an irregular forked 

 corymbose cyme with imperfectly scorpioid branches. Petals ovate- 

 acute. Whole plant glandular-pubescent. 



In damp places, particularly by roadsides, in hilly districts in 

 the North of England and Scotland ; very common in all the upland 

 districts of the latter country. 



England, Scotland. Biennial. Summer and 

 Autumn. 



Flowering-stems 3 to 6 inches high. Leaves scattered on the 

 flowering-stem, ^ to -| inch long, flattish above, convex beneath, 

 not produced at the base. Flowers few, terminating the stem and 

 branches, J inch across, white tinged with pale purple. Sepals 

 ovate, blunt. Petals twice or thrice as long as the calyx. Follicles 

 abruptly truncate with a rather short straight beak, | inch long, 

 purple. Whole plant pale yellowish - green, often tinged with 

 purple. 



Readily distinguishable from all the other British species of 

 Sedum, except S. dasyphyllum, by being covered with short glan- 

 dular hairs. 



This species produces the first year barren shoots with a rosette 

 of leaves at the apex ; in the second season these shoots grow out 

 into flowering-stems, and perish in the autumn.
