 always knows where to look for the snails." 



20. oppositifolium, Sims. Very close to -S. :<tolo}ii!r- 

 rum, but the Ivs. are brighter green, more regularly 

 decussate, and as they are broader at the base they 

 overlap one another a little and produce a neater ap- 

 pearance than in 5. stojoniferum. Fls. white or whitish.

 ■cics native to England and one of 

 ultivation. It is much used for 



edy-ing and carpeting bare spots, especially in cemeteries. 



Thrives best in poor soil. The Ivs. have an acrid taste. 



Masters says it may often be seen on the window-sills 



of London alleys, and adds: "It is one of the com- 

 monest, least considered of all plants, but very few 



have really higher claims to notice." Var. aureum. 



Mast., has Ivs. and tips 



of shoots bright golden 



yellow in spring. This is 



cult, for spring bedding. 



It gives a bit of color at 



a dull season. It loses 



the yellow tint in sum- 

 mer and is never so ro- 



liust as the green form. 



Var. Slogans, Mast., has 



the tips and young Ivs. 



pale silvery colored. Not 



as effective or hardy as 



var. aureum. Var. m^-
