Ous. The variety (3 is so remarkable, that could any constant cha- 

 racters be found, it might be considered as a species. Cultivated it pre- 

 serves a great part of its distinct appearance.

Obs. This plant, though so different in appearance from many of 

 the varieties of S. scordioides, approaches so near to S. Alpina and Py- 

 renaica, that it is impossible to separate them; it is indeed just such 

 a variation of these reduced forms of the species as one might ex- 

 pect to meet with on hotter and more arid mountains. As it is 

 found far lower down on the Tejeda chain, the epithet glacialis is 

 scarcely appropriate , and as it merits distinction, it cannot be better 

 signalized than by the name of the author who first called it into notice.
