only a variety of the preceding. 
Opposite-leaved Orpine. Pl. tr. 
$ T. taxirtorum (D. C. prod. 3. p. 366.) leaves alternate ; 
peduncles opposite the leaves, trifid at the apex; middle pedicel 
1-flowered, lateral ones elongated, and usually 3-flowered. 2%. 
G. Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Herb glaucous. Leaves 
alternate, distant, obovate, mucronate; petiole short, margined, 
with a membrane. Capsule subglobose, 3-celled nearly to the 
apex. Perhaps a proper genus, but the habit is truly that of 
Teléphium. 
Loose-flowered Orpine. PI. tr. 
Cult. All the hardy species of Orpine grow well in any light 
soil; and may either be increased by cuttings or parting at the 
root; they are well adapted for ornamenting rock-work. The 
last species being a native of the Cape of Good Hope, requires 
the protection of a green-house in winter.

3 C. peLttoipea (Hook. et 
Arnott, in Beech, bot. p. 24.) 
stems prostrate ; leaves deltoid, 
long, spatulate ; racemes lateral, furnished at the base by a spa- 
tulate bractea. %.? G. Native of Chili, about Conception 
and Valparaiso. This plant bears a strong resemblance to C. 
littoràlis. Flowers white. 
Deltoid-leaved Corryiola. P]. prostrate. 
4 C. squamosa (Hook. et Arn. in bot. misc. 3. p. 247.) cau- 
dex perennial, a little branched, very scaly at the apex, from 
which many stems issue; stems prostrate; leaves linear, oblong ; 
racemes corymbose, leafless. XY. G. Native of Chili, about 
Valparaiso, Vina de la Mar, and Playa Ancha. The lower part 
of the stem, which is here called a caudex, from its resemblance

to that part of ferns, is to be seen in no other species of the 
genus; the scaly appearance at its summit is obviously caused 
by a congeries of stipulas. Flowers white. 
Scaly Strap-wort. Pl. prostrate. 
5 C. Capr’nsts (Willd. spec. 1. p. 507.) flowers sessile ; calyx 
hardly with membranous margins. ©.H. Native of the Cape 
of Good Hope. Thunb. fl. cap. p. 272. C. littoralis, Thunb. 
prod. p. 55. Perhaps sufficiently distinct from C., littoralis. 
Cape Strap-wort. Fl. June, Aug. Clt. 1819. Pl. tr. 
Cult. The seeds of the annual kinds should be sown in dry 
light soil. The culture of the perennial kind is the same as that 
recommended for the hardy species of Teléphium.
