This little plant is a native of Caucafus, growing in the vicinity of the hot springs of Mount Conftantine. The flowers are said to be more usually purple. It may easily be con- founded with IBERIS garrexiana of ALLIONI, which is con- sidered by WILLDENOW as a variety of sempervirens, and is. the plant usually met with in our collections, under the name of IBERIS faxatilis; but our plant may be distinguished by the leaves being, under all circumstances, minutely ciliated and the stem hairy near the flowers; whereas in IBERIS gar- rexiana the whole herb is quite smooth. Another distinction may be found in its extreme bitternefs without acrimony, while the latter is merely slightly acrid, and not at all bitter. Communicated by Mr. LODDIGES. Is a hardy herbaceous perennial. Flowers in May and June; and may be propa- pagated by seeds, which it produces freely. Publisher:
