The leaves of this are indented and very like those of our dasies, for which I should have taken it also, had it not been for the flower, only the leaves are thicker and more juicy, like those of house-leek, or as we call it, those of the lesser house-leek: the leaves grow round about the root, betwixt them is a small stalk of the length of your little finger, which is round and hairy, and generally without leaves, save only where it divides into another stalk, at which place is a small leaf.

The flowers grow in scaly heads (like unto the flowers of Stæchas), are of a brown colour, and have fine pointed leaves, as I think with five small chines within, like unto the flowers of wall-pepper or stone-crop. I found only the flowers, for the seed was not yet ripe. The root is somewhat thick and strait, with many strong and thick fibers from the sides of it; it may be referred to the house-leeks, and called small indented or crenated house-leek, with scaly heads.

This plant I found in the Danish harbour or bay on the 18th of July.
