name proposed by Dr. Rose. It has grown vigorously in 
the cooler end of the Succulent House at Kew and flowered 
profusely in October, 1911. Like the other species of the 
genus in cultivation it is easily grown if placed in a sunny 
position out of doors during the summer and protected from 
frost in winter by being transferred to a greenhouse or a 
heated frame.
