Sedum acre, Linn. (S. neglectum, Ten.). Stonecrop. Wall Pepper. Love Entangle. Fig. 3583. Perennial, glabrous, cespitose: barren sts. creeping, branched, about 2 in. long; fl.-sts. 2-3 in. high: lvs. minute, about 1/4 in. long, fleshy, ovate, crowded, gibbous at base, sessile: fls. yellow, about 1/2 in. across, in 1-sided cymes, which have 2-5 forks; sepals lf.-like; petals lanceolate. Eu., N. Afr., E. Asia, and naturalized in N. Amer. Gn. 27, p. 316.—This is the commonest native species in England and one of the commonest in cult. Thrives best in poor soil and is a good ledge-plant and is frequently used for covering rather arid spots which would otherwise be bare. The lvs. have an acrid taste. Var. album, Hort., is a white-fld. form. Var. aureum, Mast., has the lvs. and shoot-tips bright golden yellow in spring. The yellow tint is lost later in the summer, but the variety is never so robust as the green form. Excellent for spring bedding, to give a bit of color. Var. elegans, Mast., has the tips and young lvs. pale silvery. More delicate than var. aureum and not so effective. Var. hawaianum, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. majus, Mast., is larger and more robust than the type: lvs. in 7 rows, deltoid-ovoid, scarcely auricled at base: fls. 3/4 in. across, in a 2-parted cyme, with a central sessile fl.; sepals linear-oblong. Morocco. Var. Maiveana, Hort., is said by the trade to be the same as var. hawaianum. Var. sexangulare, Hort., is offered in the trade; it probably is S. sexangulare.
