June, July. Pyrenees.— This species will grow in any rock crevice and is very showy in lf. and in fl., but it has the unfortunate habit of dying when through flowering.

Var. magnifica, Hort., is a form with large rosettes up to 12-14 in. diam. and very profusely fld. panicles which attain a length of 2 ft. and a diam. of 16 in. The fls. are white. G.C.
