[Illustration: No 130]

A native of the Levant, and cultivated by Mr. MILLER in the
year 1739.

Is a hardy and beautiful perennial, flowering from April to June, at
which time it begins to form its curiously inflated pods.

Like the _Alyssum deltoideum_, it is well adapted to the decorating of
walls, or rock-work, and is readily propagated either by seeds or
slips.
