Pratia

Pratia - P. angulata is a pretty plant for the rock garden, creeping over the soil like the Fruiting Duckweed; the flowers white, and like a dwarf Lobelia, numerous in autumn, giving place to violet-colored berries about the size of Peas. It is fairly hardy, and grows best in moist districts, with a mild winter, such as Cornwall, where charming carpets of this little plant are not uncommon in shady places. New Zealand. Syn. Lobelia littoralis. A second kind, P. begonifolia, is from the Himalayas, and is larger in all its parts, with downy leaves and purple berries.

Pratia Arenaria - An interesting addition to these little plants. The flowers are about the size of those of the old ones, and the growth is a little larger. All these dwarf things are now very welcome when everybody is making a rock garden.
