     My Polygonum minus procumbens niveum Glaucis exiguæ fol. is undoubtedly the Polygala repens nuperor. Lob. and I believe the Polygonum minus candicans ſupinum of Dr. Magnol, tho’ he upon Miſtake applies it to the Paronychia Hiſpanica Clus. which is a more ſurrect plant.

     Mounting takes care of the water in the crown, maybe the pot can lay on its side after watering or all the time? // I also believe that Jim is correct and that the plant requires more than Phal light.
