Root-lvs. clustered: scapes mostly not exceeding 8 in. high, often very short: fls. mostly pink, red and purplish, sometimes white, primula-like but constricted at the throat, umbellate or solitary, in early spring.—Over 80 species in Eu., Asia, N. Amer. and Pacific Isls. Pax and Knuth, Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 22:172-220.

Many species of rock jasmine are known in European gardens, and they are much prized by fanciers in alpine- gardening. The tufted leaves sit close to the rocks. Some of them are woolly-leaved. Only currently catalogued species are included in the present account. A well-drained soil, partial shade, free circulation of air, frequent waterings in dry summer months, and protection from heavy fall and spring rains, will lead to success with these charming alpines. A heavy shading of evergreen boughs in winter will be found of great benefit. Close covering is not to be recommended, because it smothers the plants. Very many species have been tried in this country, with variable and not very encouraging results, but in a few instances, with extra care, plants have done well. The northern aspect of a steep rockery seems to be the most favorable position for them.
