IN the months of April and May, this little plant fucceeds the Draba verna, and is no fmall ornament to 
the tops of our walls. It grows alfo on houfes, and among rubbilh. 
It Varies in fize from one to fix inches, or even more in particular fixations : the larger it grows, the 
more branched it becomes, and the more numerous are the divifions of its leaves : on the contrary in its 
fmall Hate, the ftalk is frequently Ample, and the leaves undivided. 
Its medical virtues, if any, are not fufficient to preferve it in the prefeut pradice.
