* (Sedums in general, (and Saxifrages), form agreeable appendages to rock work or ruins, 
and none are more ornamental than this and the preceding species. Either roots or cuttings 
planted in a little mud or moist soil, in crevices, will soon extend themselves to the embel¬ 
lishment of such spots : or on a larger scale, by scattering chopped fragments over recesses, 
even though inaccessible to hand culture, the same effect may be produced. It has been 
prettily remarked that the yellow Stonecrop “ spreads a continual vegetable sunshine over 
thatched roofs:”—would that it might be considered emblematical of the prevalent moral 
temperament within ! Haller says S. reflexum is eaten in salads. E.)
