__ The chief account we have found of this rare plant is in 
Hawortn’s Supplement to his history of succulent plants. 
At the time of this publication, in 1819, it does not seem 
tohave flowered in this country, the author having only 
Seen a small plant of it at the Fulham nursery. The 
flowers are very like those of E. Tithymaloides, but the 
leaves are remarkable for a sharp broad keel along the 
midrib on the underside, which in. the younger leaves is 
Undulated, but in the older ones quite plain, and sharp 
edged. Mr. Haworrn, from the slipper-sh corolla, 
has raised the section to which this species belongs into 
4 genus, under the name of Crermaria, as has been before 
done by Neckar, under the name of PepILanTuus. 
Native of Trinidad. Requires to be kept in the stove. 
Communicated by Messrs. Waittzy, Brames, and Mize,
