the fummits of the highland mountains in manv
places, as upon Crcg-Chailleacl\ in Breadalbane

The ftalks are from three to fix inches high ; they
recline at the bale, and increafe by offsets : the
radical leaves are fometimes only dented on the
edges, but are more frequently deeply finuated
with two pair of oval acute lobes, and an odd
one at the extremity : the ftalk-leaves are lefs
dented, and the uppermofc are elliptical and en-
tire : the flowers are either white or a little tinp-'d
with purple : the valves of the Siliqua burft at
the bafe, but do rot coil up like the other fpe-
cicj of this genus.
