A more beautiful rock plant of the kind than this can 
scarcely be imagined. It is literally a mass of brilliant golden 
blossoms, relieved by the red-brown spots at the tips of the 
corolla lobes, which give them the appearance of being forked 
at the apex. The foliage, too, is of a brilliant green trans- 
lucid texture relieved with blood-red streaks. I have referred 
it with some doubt to Boissier’s Mogador plant, the dried 
specimens of which are but one and a half inches high, and 
am far from satisfied that itis nota form of C. hispanicum, 
Desff.
