vestita; floribus secundis, breviter pedicellatis ; calycis laciniis elon-

antheris flavidis, exsertis ; stigmatibus capitatis viridibus.” 
According to the authors of this work, this new genus is 
next Cotyledon and Pistorinia ; but I cannot perceive in what 
it differs from Echeveria, of which it is to all appearance a 
species, with a very large calyx. It has beautiful glaucous 
foliage, and must be regarded as a handsome addition to the 
collection of succulent plants. The corolla is crimson, and 
shorter than the glaucous calyx.

A twining greenhouse herbaceous plant, with the habit of 
a Gonolobus, the flowers being greenish yellow, about the size 
of a shilling, and collected in umbels. It was received at 
Berlin under the name of Echites sinensis; but its native 
country is not certainly known.
