purple flowers; it appears to have been cultivated in the 
Birmingham Botanic Gardens in 1836. 2 
L. rotundifolius has a wide range; we have examined 
specimens in the Herbarium from Roumelia, the Crimea, 
Asia Minor, and the Caucasus, and according to Boissier it 
extends eastwards to Northern Persia. I am indebted to 
Mr. Corderoy, of Blewbury, near Didcot, a valued corre- 
spondent and cultivator of succulent plants, for the specimen 
here figured, which flowered in his garden in June of the 
present year.
