A further interesting point in the morphology of this plant is 
the curious dimorphism of the leaves. I received two live plants 
from Mr. Galpin, one of which I planted in my garden. The 
vegetative shoots bore thick entire leaves ; but as they elongated 
they produced about four pairs of leaves which were very much 
thinner, and were serrate at the apex, showing 3-4 serrations on 
each side; these serrated leaves were succeeded on the same 
shoots by perfectly entire leaves. 
As in Crassula cordata, Ait., and C. multicava, Lemaire, vege- 
tative shoots are produced as accessory shoots in the floral 
region, and one peduncle was observed to produce a vegetative 
shoot at its apex when the flowering-period was over. 
The colours of the different organs of this plant are also very 
peculiar. The leaves are white at their bases, this colour passing 
gradually into a pale green, and, in the older leaves, this colour 
further passes gradually into a crimson which is deepest at the 
tip. The peduncles and pedicels are almost pure white, the 
sepals are pale green, the tops of the petals white, the lower 
parts of the petals, filaments, nectar-glands (or “ squamæ ”), and 
the carpels are crimson, the anthers blackish, the pollen yellow.

This species may be placed in Harvey’s sect. “Perfilate,” 
although it is very different in habit from the other species which 
have been united by Harvey in this section.
