The PLANT is perennial. 
STALKS numerous, about three inches high, round, 
weak, clammy, fimple, upright, and creep- 
ing at bottom, 
LEAVES, in proportion to the plant, large, generally 
oppofite, of an lieart-lhaped oval figuie, grow- 
ing to the ftaik, fiefhy, of a blueilh green co- 
lour, flattifli on tne infide, and c. nvcx on the 
outfide, dotted, frequently veined with red, 
largeft about the middle of the flalk, the 
lowermoft hollow on the infiJe. 
FLOWER-STALKS branched, clammy, before the 
flowers open hanging down. 
FLOWERS white on the Infide, externally recldilh. 
CALYX : a Perianthium divided into fix fegments, 
fmall, the fegments oval, flclhy, and vilcid, 
fg. J, a little magnified. 
COROLLA: fix Petals, oval and pointed, flat, 
fpreading, three times the length of the calyx, 
midrib projedcing, fg. 2, natural fize. 
NECTARIES fix, each a fmall yellow gland, placed 
externally at the bottom of each germen, jfy. 5. 
STAMINA: Filaments moft commonly twelve, ta- 
pering, the length of the corolla : Anthera, 
firft roundilh, and of a red colour, laflly flat- 
ten’d : the Pollen yellow, fg. 3. 
PISTILLUM : fix Germina, oblong, terminating in 
flender Styles : Stigmata fimple, and 
bending down, fg. 4. 
SEED-VESSEL: fix Capsules of a pale brown co- 
lour, opening internally. 
SEEDS very minute, and yellowifh. 
SUCH perfons as are fond of decorating the rock work of their gardens with plants, cannot feleift one 
better adapted to the purpofe than the prefent fpecies of Stonecrop. It grows without any trouble, in any 
afpeil, multiplys very much by young fhoots, and looks beautiful throughout the year. Indeed it is ftrange that 
it has not yet made its way more univerfally into gardens. 
I have frequently noticed it on the walls about town. It grows particularly in great abundance on a wall near 
Chelfea HofptaU on the left-hand fide of the horfe-road, on turning the corner out of Paradife-Row ; likewife oh a 
wall on the left-hand fide of the lane leading from Kenfngton gravel-pits to Adlon ; and eifewhere. 
Its thick white leaves readily diftinguifh it from every other fpecies of Stonecrop. 
Botanifts have differed widely in the defcriptions of thefe, as will appear from a perufal of the Synonyms. 
It flowers in June ; and has generally one additional part more throughout the whole of the fru'^ification than 
the Sedum acre., and other Stonecrofs.
