yellow, obovate, narrow at the base, entire or slightly
notched. Stamens from 40 to 50, spreading. Ovarium
triangular, with thick margins, hairy.
This neat little plant is quite hardy, and is a proper
subject for the ornamenting of rock-work; it also thrives
and flowers well in a small pot, planted in a mixture of
sandy loam and peat. It is nearly related to H. alpestre,
already published, but nearer to H. vineale, and is sometimes
mistaken for H. marifolium, but is very distinct
from that species, which we only know by Barrelier’s
figure, and fine specimens preserved in Mr. Lambert’s
Herbarium ; and we do not believe that living plants of
it are at present in this country, the present and some
other species being generally mistaken for it. Cuttings
root freely, planted under hand-glasses in Autumn; it
may also be raised from seeds, which ripen plentifully.
Our drawing was taken from plants at the Nursery
of Mr. Colvill, last Summer.
