The leaves and fi:alks are fmooth, and lie flat upon 

 the ground all round the root : the flowers grow 

 in fliort axillary tufts, and are white : xhcftU- 

 cul^ are kidney-fnap'd and echinated. Each cell 

 generally contains one feed. 



This plant was fome years ago rendered famous, the 

 afiies of it being an ingredient in Mrs. Joanna 

 Stephens's celebrated medicine for the ftone and 

 gravel ; but unfortunately for thofe afllidled with 

 that excruciating complaint, it lias not been able 

 to fupport its credit. 



It is acrid, and taftes like garden crefs.
