I am indebted for the specific character and the description (partly derived from my own notes) of this and the 
next species to my worthy friend Mr. Haworth, whose indefatigable labours have thrown so much light upon the 
difficult and extensive family of plants to which the genus Calanchoe belongs. 
I found this ornamental shrub on the mountains of Taong Dong, twenty miles from Ava; but it may perhaps also 
be a native of Pegu, although this is doubtful. It attains almost a man's height, and is easily distinguished at first 
sight by its very straight and rigid habit, and by its very regularly decussate leaves, which are tripinnate, with nearly 
cylindric, deeply channelled segments; only in the infant plant they appear entire, flattened, and lanceolate ; very 
soon afterwards they entirely change their form. The flowers are of a bright yellow colour, very numerous, col- 
lected into a large, terminal, rounded and dense panicle.

I have found this strong and robust species both in Nipal and in the Burmese territories, near the petroleum wells 
at Yenangheun, on the left bank of the Irawaddi. In the Calcutta Garden, where the plant has been introduced from 
both those countries, it thrives remarkably well. An account of it has been published already by Mr. Haworth, in 
the Philosophical Magazine and Annals, N. S. Vol. IX. from a plant brought home by myself, which blossomed in
