Grows spontaneously out of the crevices of the rocks in the South of France; flowers in our gardens in July and August; is a very hardy perennial, and in sheltered situations retains its leaves all the year.

The singular manner in which the leaves are attached to the flowering stem, deserves to be noticed.

As many of the succulent plants are tender, and require a Green-house in the winter, cultivators of plants are apt indiscriminately to extend the same kind of care to the whole tribe, hence it is not uncommon to find this and many other similar hardy plants, nursed up in the Green-house or stove, when they would thrive much better on a wall or piece of rock-work, for the decoration of which this plant in particular is admirably adapted.

Like most of the Sedum tribe it may readily be propagated by cuttings, or parting its roots in autumn.

DODONAEUS’ figure admirably represents its habit.

According to the Hort.  Kew. it was cultivated in this country by
GERARD, in 1596.

In order that we may give our readers an opportunity
of seeing a coloured representation of one of the
most scarce and magnificent plants introduced into
this country, we have this number deviated from our
usual plan, with respect to the plates, and though
in so doing we shall have the pleasure of gratifying
the warm wishes of many of our readers, we are not
without our apprehensions least others may not feel
perfectly well satisfied; should it prove so, we wish
such to rest assured that this is a deviation in which
we shall very rarely indulge and never but when something
uncommonly beautiful or interesting presents itself: 
to avoid the imputation of interested motives, we
wish our readers to be apprized that the expences
attendant on the present number, in consequence of
such deviation, have been considerably augmented,
not lowered.
