Again, another cause, and a most common one, is: that the plants cannot spread because they find the ground beyond them already occupied by other plants, who will not tolerate a fresh mouth, having only just enough to feed themselves. Take the case of Saxifraga hypnoides and S. umbrosa, "London pride." They are two especially strong species.
Then how is it that S. hypnoides cannot get down off the mountains; and that S. umbrosa, though in Kerry it has got off the mountains and down to the sea- level, exterminating, I suspect, many species in its progress, yet cannot get across County Cork?

We have several varieties with double flowers, which are highly prized by the amateurs of gardening. SAXIFRAGA umbrosa. LONDON PRIDE. -A beautiful little plant for forming edgings to the flower garden, or for decorating rock-work. SAXIFRAGA oppositifolia.
