Nertera depressa, Banks & Soland. Bead-plant. Glabrous: variable in size, sometimes forming patches: sts. 6-10 in. long, 4-cornered: Lvs. 2 lines long, broadly ovate, acute or obtuse, leathery or almost fleshy; petioles about as long as the blades; stipules very small: fls. solitary, greenish. B.M. 5799. F.S. 21:2167 (charming). F.W. 1875:257.— The bead- or coral-bead-plant is a hardy perennial alpine or rock-plant which forms a dense mat of foliage covered with orange-colored translucent berries the size of a pea. It ranges throughout the Andes, from the tropics to Cape Horn. It also inhabits Tristan d'Acunha, and the mountains of New Zeal, and Tasmania. It is prop. by seed or division. The plant needs a sandy soil, with some leaf -mold, and prefers shade in summer and may need some winter covering in the N. It makes a good house plant and well-fruited specimens are occasionally used abroad in fancy bedding as a novelty. The fr. may last from midsummer well into the winter. In S. Calif., N. depressa grows well in the open if it is kept moist and does not receive the direct rays of the sun.
