Herniaria glabra, Linn. Lvs. obovate, rarely orbicular, glabrous except a few hairs at edges, which are usually recurved: fls. small and green, in a leafy spike or the lower ones at considerable intervals. July, Aug. Eu., Asia.—A hardy herbaceous perennial which grows about 2 in. high and produces inconspicuous greenish fls. in summer. It makes a dense mat of moss-like foliage, which turns a deep bronzy red in winter. It is much used in carpet-bedding and to a less extent in rockeries and for edgings of hardy borders. Recommended for covering graves. It thrives in the poorest soils, makes a solid covering, and is by some regarded as one of the most valuable of hardy trailers. Prop, by division or seed. Grows wild in England, and is kept in many large collections of hardy plants. H. hirsuta, Linn., Eu., has narrow hirsute lvs.: sometimes planted. Wilhelm Miller.
