<234 ICOSANDRIA, PENTAGYNIA. 



R. trivialis, Ait. Kew. ed. 2. t. 3. p. 269. 



A pretty procumbent species, with reddish, long, weak 

 stems ; small glabrous shining leaves ; and small white pretty 

 flowers, with fugacious petals. Berries imperfectly matured, 

 but few of the acini becoming ripe, but those that do, are not 

 bad tasted. It creeps over a lurge space of ground in a thicket 

 about a quarter of a mile north-east of Kaighn's point, 

 Jersey, and close to the spot I have particularized, as the ha- 

 bitat of Asclepias verticillata. I have found it no where 

 else. \ . June, July.

 leaves simple, acute, 3 — 5 lobed, corymbs ter- 

 minal, divaricate, calices with apendices, petals 

 suborbiculate. — Willd.
