Hutchinsia (named for Miss Hutchins, of Ireland, who was skilled in cryptogamic botany). Syn. Hymenolobus. Cruciferae. Low, annual or perennial herbs with entire or pinnate lvs. : fls. white, small, sub- corymbose; pedicels elongated: fr. long-oval or lance- shaped; seeds many or only 2. — Eight species in the Medit. region and the colder parts of the Old World, one species being very widely spread. According to some authorities, Hutchinsia is limited to one species. H. alpina, Ait., is a good subject for the alpine garden and is also occasionally used as a border plant. It prows from 1—4 in. high: lvs. pinnate, shining: fls. snow-white, in clusters, blooming from May to June and often through the summer. Cult, in moist half- shady places and prop, by seeds or cuttings. Gn. 72, pp. 31, 278.
