Mr. Galpin mentions a crimson-flowered species with 
leaves eighteen inches long by thirteen wide, and numerous 
flowers, as growing in profusion on the same mountain. 
Can this be S. Dunnii, mentioned above, which was found 
on the Spitzkop at three thousand six hundred to six 
thousand feet elevation? and the leaves of which attain, 
under cultivation at Kew, three feet in length and the 
flowers of which are bright rose-coloured. 
The seeds of S. Galpini were received from Mr. Galpi 
in May, 1890, and the plants raised from them flowered 
in October of the following year in the Succulent House 
of the Royal Gardens. Mr. Watson has planted a row of 
this species along the margin of the Aloe bed in the same 
house, which will no doubt have a brilliant effect in the 
coming season.—J. D, H.
