In leaf and flower the two species come pretty close, but the leaves of Liebmannianum are larger and quite imbricated, and the petals are more sharply pointed. It is, moreover, nearly deciduous, the young leaves alone remaining through the winter and assuming a brown tint; and it is tender, while moranense is thoroughly evergreen and hardy. Description.—A small almost deciduous glabrous perennial, 2-6 inches high. Stems procumbent and rooting below, as'^ending, branched, thickened to \ inch diameter by the persistent loose silvery bases of the old leaves, each with a black tip representing the lamina. Leaves crowded, oblong, blunt, very fleshy, sessile, y^ inch long, green, tipped red. Inflorescence terminal, few-flowered. Buds oblong-ovate, rather blunt. Flowers 5-parted, sessile, | inch across. Sepals.
