Mohl[346] remarks that, in the transformation of the stamens to the pistil in the common houseleek, the filament of the stamen generally preserves its form, the anthers alone undergoing change.— Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants
But scandal is a plant that needs no root in the earth; like the houseleek, it can thrive upon air; and those who separate themselves the most entirely from the world are apt, for that very reason, to receive the larger share of its attention.— The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 12, October, 1858
According to them some species are more subject to this anomaly than others, and the houseleek is said to be very prone to this change.— Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation
The houseleek, however, is a singular plant, worthy of examination; it has an old-world look, as if it had survived beyond its date into the nineteenth century.— The Life of the Fields
The houseleek is still used for the cure of wounds and cuts.— The Life of the Fields
