 S. album, var. p, Bab. Man. Brit. Bot. ed. v. p. 130. 



Leaves on the barren shoots approximate, clavate-cylindrical, 

 short, slightly flattened above ; those on the flowering portions of 

 the stem rather approximate, ascending or spreading. Sepals 

 roundish. Petals oblong, rather acute. 



On walls and rocks. Rare, and probably not native. At 

 Arundel and elsewhere, Sussex ; and on rocks at Hawl-bowline 

 Island, Cork Harbour. (Mr. Isaac Carroll.) 



[England, Ireland.] Perennial. Summer. 



Extremely like S. eu-album, but one-half smaller in all its parts. 

 Leaves seldom more than ± inch long, more swollen and clavate 

 than in S. eu-album; the flowers also are smaller, often tinged 

 with pink ; the sepals shorter ; the petals longer in proportion, and 

 more acute ; the stem more glandular. 



I have seen this alive only in Mr. H. C. Watson's garden, the 

 root having been sent to him by the late Mr. Borrer. S. micran- 

 thum represents S. album in the Linnsean Herbarium.

Stems tufted, much branched, producing very numerous de- 

 cumbent rooting barren shoots at the same time as the flowering 

 ones. Leaves mostly opposite, imbricated towards the apex of the 

 barren shoots, more distant on the flowering ones, ovate-ovoid or 

 sub-globose, flattened above, convex beneath, not spurred at the 

 base, glaucous and sometimes tinged with pink, thickly clothed with 

 gland-tipped hairs. Flowers white, few, in a forked cyme with sub- 

 scorpioid branches ; branches of the cyme and pedicels generally 

 glandular- p ubescent. 



On walls and rocks. Pare, and perhaps not truly native, 

 though it is reported from numerous localities from Somerset and 

 Hants to North Wales and Cambridge, also at Sandy's Well, Cork. 

 England, Ireland. Perennial. Summer. 



Stems much-branched at the base, with numerous barren 

 shoots ascending at the apex, where the leaves are very closely 

 imbricated. Flowering shoots 1 to 3 inches high, with the leaves 

 larger than in the barren shoots, about £ to \ inch long, broadly
