This singular Cape succulent has long been cultivated in 
Europe, having been introduced into England in 1795 accord- 
ing to Haworth, though its name does not appear 1h either 
edition of the “ Hortus Kewensis.” Its exact habitat in South 
Africa is not known, and Harvey in the “Flora Capensis quotes 
the description of De Candolle, and this seems all he knew 
about it. “Hab. Cape, cultivated m Europe (at least 
formerly ), flower undescribed.” As De Candolle also states 
that the flower is unknown in Europe, it was with great 
interest that I received a flowering specimen from my friend 
D. Hanbury, F.R.S., who obtained it in the garden of his 
brother Thomas Hanbury, Esq., at Palazzo Orengo, near 
Mentone, in July of the present year, and which is here 
_ figured. Mr. Hanbury informs me that it forms a little 
NOVEMBER Ist, 1873.
