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 large 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. 1 have found it no where 
else. l 2 . June, July.
