SUCH perfons as are fond of decorating the rock work of their gardens with plants, cannot felect one 

 better adapted to the purpofe than the prefent fpecies of Stonecrop. It grows without any trouble, in any 

 afpect., multiplys very much by young moots, and looks beautiful throughout the year. Indeed it is ftrange that 

 it has not yet made its way more univerfally into gardens. 



I have frequently noticed it on the walls about town. It grows particularly in great abundance on a wall near 

 Chelfea Hofpital, on the left-hand fide of the horfe-road, on turning the corner out of Paradife-Rotv ; likewife on a 

 wall on the left-hand fide of the lane leading from Kenfington gravel-pits to ASton ; and elfewhere. 



Its thick white leaves readily diftinguifh it from every other fpecies of Stonecrop. 



Botanifts have differed widely in the defcriptions of thefe, as will appear from a perufal of the Synonyms. 



It flowers in June ; and has generally one additional part more throughout the whole of the fructification than 

 the Sedum acre, and other Stonecrops,
