Sempervivum, Linn. From semper vivo, to live for 
ever; the tenacity of life of the Houseleek is well 
known Linn. 1 1, Or. 7, Nat. Or. Crassulacece. These 
interesting plants are worthy of a place in every 
collection. The greenhouse species succeed best in 
a mixture of sandy loam and brick rubbish ; and 
when not in dow'er, they must be very sparingly 
watered. Cuttings taken oflF, and laid lo dry for two 
or three days, will root very freely. The readiest 
way of obtaining cuttings from S. tabulceforme and 
some others, is to cut the top out, when lateral shoots 
will be immediately produced. The hardy kinds 
succeed best on walls or rock-work, and are easily 
increased by offsets. The juice of the common 
houseleek, S. tectorum, applied either by itself or 
mixed with cream, gives immediate relief in bums, 
and other external inflammations. Synonymes: 1.
