The flowers of Crassuta culirata never expand, and the 
petals bear a globular # peor at their apex: on account of 
which character, Mr. Haworrn, in his Synopsis Plantarum 
Succulentarum, has thought fit to separate this species with | 
three others from Crassuna, under the name of Girogutea. 
_ Crassuta cultrata comes under the division ae: 
Native of the Cape of aoa Cultivated in Dr. SHerarp’s 
den, at Eltham, in 1732. Is usually kept in the dry stove. 
Propagated by cuttings. Flowers in August, September, and 
October. Our drawing was taken some years ago from a 
plant in the possession of Mr. Sypennam Epwarps.
