Pjg. I. Inflorescence of 5. lineare, from above. tomous branches with a flower in the primary and secondary forks, and a bract subtending each flower. Sepals regular in European and most Asiatic species, often markedly irregular in Chinese and Mexican plants. Petals very small and inconspicuous (some Rhodiolas). or relatively large and mostly brightly coloured, patent or seldom erect, entire or seldom fringed. , . , , Stamens normally lo; 5 in a few species, most of which have no near relationship to each other. Carpels erect or stellate ; seeds borne in a row along the inner face of the carpel, very seldom ( S. Celiac) in a bunch near the base of the carpel. Hybrids. Hybrids are rare in the genus. A notable exception occurs in the case of S Telephium and its near ally S. maximum, which cross freely in the wild state and in the garden. Otherwise only a very few hybrids are known. S altissimum X reflexum = S. luteolum Chaboisseau (France). S acre X sexangulare = S. Fiireri K. Wein (Harz Mountams). S annuum X sexangulare = S. erraticum Briigg. (Switzerland). S annuum X aipestre = S. engadinense Briigg. (Switzerland . s' atratum X annuum = S. Der&em Petitmengin (Maritime Alps). s' Aizoon X kamtschaticum. (Wisley. where it was received from a garden as S. kamtschaticum. Also seen at Cambridge.) S. Telephium X maximum. (Frequent in gardens where the two species are grown.) Owing no doubt to the fact that the genus is not a popular one among plant-fanciers, we have escaped so far from the production of endless uninteresting artificial hybrids, such as now confuse the allied genus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
