10 Alpine Plants. 
Adonis vernalis and v. alba (Europe).

in flower; except that every third or fourth year 
it should be divided and replanted in early spring. 
AEthionema armenum (Armenia). 
Treat like Zthionema coridifolium, except 
that this species does not require to be cut back 
after flowering. 
AEthionema cordatum (Orient).

4Ethionema coridifolium (Asia Minor). 
A sun-loving rock plant of very easy culture, 
too little grown. Plant on an elevated place 
between stones, in a mixture of equal parts of 
rough limestone and loam, or it will do equally 
well in rough gritty sandstone; but in any case 
the soil must be kept poor. While leaving plenty 
of room for the roots to descend, care should be 
taken to press the plant closely between the 
stones, so that it is made as firm as possible. In 
spring, see that the plant has not worked loose, 
and apply a little top-dressing of stone and loam 
in the chinks. After flowering, the plant should 
be cut back. 
AEthionema greecum (Greece). 
Treat like AEthionema armenum. 
AEthionema grandiflorum (Persia). 
Treat like Aithionema coridifolium. 
AEthionema Thomasiana (Piedmont, etc.). 
Treat like AXthionema armenum.
