Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Gypsophila repens, Linn. (G. pros- trcUa, Hort., not of Linn.). Sts. trailing or prostrate, ascending at the ends, not glaucous: lvs. linear, sharp- pointed, glabrous: fls. rather large, white, the petals about twice longer than the sepals and the pedicels usually much longer. Alps and Pyrenees.—Best adapted to the rockery, and the mixed border; blooms from midsummer to autumn. Var. monstrosa, Hort., is larger but otherwise the same. Var. rosea, Hort., has rose-colored fls. and is frequently sold as G. prostrala rosea, also as G. carminea, Hort., which does not seem to differ.
