Beschreibung im Werk (engl.)
This Plant is commonly found to prosper among Rocks, where it will put forth its Pillar-like Stems several Foot in lenght, shooting upright, till it wants Strength to maintain it self, and inclines towards the Earth, and takes Root. The Stems of this sort are Six-rib'd, bearing on the Edges small knots of Spines, of a Straw Colour.
I have seen this Plant in the Gardens of Hampton-Court, and Amsterdam; but at neither of those places has it yet produc'd any Flower.
It is easily propagated, by setting one of the Stems an Inch deep in the Earth, during th Summer Months. It requires very little Water, a light Soil, and a warm dry Air.
