_ We have no doubt but that when this fuperb fpecies of

Craffula was firft introduced from the Cape by Prof. BrapLey,. 
of Oxford, in 1714, it was regarded as a kind of a Merveil de la 
Nature ; even now that it is common, we fcarcely know any | 
fucculent that is fuperior to it, whether we regard its grandeur, 
the curious growth of its leaves, or the rich colour of its fcarlet. 
bloffoms, readily produced on plants of a moderate fize. 
It flowers during the months of July, Auguft, and Septem- 
bers is readily propagated by cuttings, and requires the fame 
der fucculents; Mr. Arron regards itas — ee 
a dry ftove plant ; in the fummer it fhould be placed inthe 
treatment as other ten 
open air.
