| In the habit of this plant, but more efpecially in its foliage 
there exifts a great fimilarity to. the Cotyledon orbiculata, z: 
figured ¢. 321 of this work; there will be found however tobe — 
a very great difference in the form of their flowers, thofe of | 
the Crajula tefemble the flowers of a Sedum; to hae 
genus, indeed, it has great affinity, ‘but a fingular trait in| 
this plant is its indifpofition to ‘flower: Mr. FarrBAIRN in- 
forms me, that he never faw it produce bloffoms in Chelfea | 
Garden tifl the prefent fummer; Mr. Miter never faw it 
flower, nor does it appear. that Mr. Arron ever did. A | 
Chelfea Garden there are feveral plants of this {pecies, fome a 
of which form fmall trees; one of thofe, but not the oldeft, — 
produced this fummer feveral bunches of flowers, which con- 
tinued during May and June: in the treatment of thele pts : 
_ there has been no variation, they are conflantly kept ina giles 
cafe with other fucculents. Zs 
It is a native of the Cape, and was cultivated by Mines
