stone among which it grows, about 25 mm. long, at the lower portion 

 7 mm. broad and 5 mm. thick ; the end is broadly spear-shaped, 

 measm-ing 12 mm. at its broadest part. The triangular face is 

 grooved and covered with closely set, whitish tubercles, looking 

 exactly like the rough surface of the surrounding limestone. The 

 flowers appear between the leaves, hardly protruding and opening 

 about midday ; the calyx lobes are broadly lanceolate with a mem- 

 branous edge and tuberculated at the apex like the leaves ; the petals 

 are uniseriate, short in proportion to the size of the flowers, measur- 

 ing from 6 to 8 mm. The stamens do not spread, but owing to a 

 bend in the middle of the filament they form a short, truncate cone 

 with a little opening at the top ; the lower part of the filaments is 

 pilose; the stigmas are linear, about as long as the upper half of the 

 filaments.
