Perennial. July, August. 



Differs from the last in being of a more glaucous hue, with much 

 more slender leaves, especially on the radical shoots. The 

 branches of the ajme are more uniformly spreading, and the 

 segments of the cuh/x narrower and more pointed. 



It is extremely difficult to adjust the synonyms of old authors, 

 between this and the reflexum, because the latter varies in the 

 position of \tsJlower-stallcs, and it appears that writers who di- 

 stinguished them as species have not always known what their 

 predecessors intended. The excellent cut of Fuclisius, referred 

 to this by C. Bauhin, surely represents the former. The figures 

 of Clusius, adopted by Lobel and Gerarde, are sufficiently ex- 

 pressive. 



10. S. riipestrc. St. Vincent's Rock Stonecrop.

 fectly cymose. Segments of the calyx elliptical, obtuse.
