“ According to Mr. Salisbury, no plant whatever is more easy 
to cultivate than this; at Chapel- A) lerton it propagated itself every- 
where, springing up from seeds in the neighbouring pots, whatever 
soil or plants happened to be in them ; and they were once found 
germinating on a dead root of a Persian Cyclamen, in a pot, which 
for want of draining was full of Jungermannias.” Professor 
Lindley, in Loudon's Encyclopaedia of Plants, p. 755.
