Perennial. — Flowers from June to October. 
Rout a roundish knob, with several woolly fibres. Stem from 
6 inches to a foot high, purplish, rounded, simple or branched ; 
leafy in the lower part. Leaves scattered, thick, fleshy, circular, 
with central leaf-stalks, concave on the upper surface, with a hollow 
dimple nearly in the centre, just opposite to the insertion of the 
petiole underneath ; upper leaves with the petiole not fixed so 
nearly in the centre, and their margins more deeply cut. Flowers 
drooping, in long terminating clusters, each on a short stalk, with 
a small spear-shaped, entire bractea at its base. Segments of the 
Calyx egg-spear-shaped. Corolla tubular, somewhat 5-sided, 
yellowish-green. Nectaries red. Stamens short, in two rows, in 
the mouth of the corolla. 
Whole plant smooth and succulent. “ Its peculiar and elegant 
appearance,” as Dr. Withering observes, “ renders it a fit sub- 
ject for rock-work.” A variety with large bracteas, longer than 
the flowers, the racemes terminated by a rose-like cluster of leaves, 
is recorded by Mr. Watson (in his New Botanist’s Guide, p. 8.) 
as having been gathered on rocks by the Logan-Stone, Cornwall. 
In stunted specimens the flowers are sometimes nearly upright ; 
and in very luxuriant ones the clusters of flowers have often se- 
veral lateral branches.
