diately from the roots, it may suitably fill up a 
sheltered comer, at the foot of a wall, where other 
tenants occupy the space above it. We are not 
informed of the particular part of Buenos Ayres of 
which this plant is a native, it may, however, be 
perfectly hardy, although originating under the 
thirty-fifth degree of latitude, for in estimating the 
constitution of plants, it must never be forgotten, 
that elevation, as well as latitude, must be taken 
into the calculation. Even within the tropics, 
where, on the lower levels of the earth, the scorch-

renders all, or nearly so, a barren waste, moun-

elevation render habitable, a portion of the globe 
that would otherwise be nearly desolate, and un-
