I obtained this plant from Mr. R. M. Stark, of Edinburgh, 
and it is well suited for rock-work, or may be usefully employed 
as an edging plant, having a compact habit, and the silvery gray 
of the leaves producing a very pretty effect. It is easily increased 
by cuttings or divisions of the stem. It is perfectly hardy, as 
might be expected from a plant native of Kamtschatka. —
