-Germens five, cohering: ffyles divaricate. No ne@ariferous 
{cales were obfervable. 
There is confiderable affinity between this {pecies and pellucida, 
and it is not improbable that they have been fometimes con- 
founded. But in the latter plant, as defcribed and figured by 
Dittenius, the leaves are much thicker, colle&ed into 
rofules, and do not ftand in diftant pairs, as in this. 
That our plant is the Crassuxa centauroides of the Hortus 
Kewenfis we are fure, having compared it with a {pecimen pre- 
ferved in {pirits of wine in’ the Bankfian Mufeum. 
We know of no figure exifting of this {pecies which, from 
the brilliancy and long duration of its flowers, fo well deferves 
a place in every collection of fucculent plants. It is confidered 
as an inhabitant of the dry ftove, but will do very well in the 
-greenhoufe, or even in the window of a light apartment. 
Native of the Cape of Good-Hope. Propagated by feeds, 
which, in favourable feafons, are freely produced. Flowers from 
May to July. Communicated by Meffrs, Loppicers and Sons.
