178 SPICILEGIA GORGONEA. 
frutex 5-8-pedalis, succo lacteo scatens; larvam perpulchram 
Sphingis Euphorbie ? que foliis hujus speciei vescebatur 
observavi, (J. Dalton Hooker, n. 115. Nov. 1889, spec. 
fructifera.) In herb. Mus. reg. Par. specimen floridum. 
Christian Smith says of this species in his journal, l. € 
p. 243: * I found at last an Euphorbia, which bore so near a 
resemblance to E. piscatoria, as scarcely to be distinguished 
from it.” Again, p. 27, in Tuckey’s Journal, he says: “At 
the height of about 1600 feet I at length found the hills and 
small valleys covered with large bushes of a Tithymalus re- 
sembling E. piscatoria, but the identity difficult to be esta- 
blished.”

Our specimens of this singular plant would resemble en- 
tirely the D. papposa, Endl. (Atakt. t. 20 et 21.) were its 
leaves not always dentate. I can seeno difference whatever 
between this and Kotschy’s plant : it is therefore a native of 
either Ethiopia.

The young fruit of our species is turbinate, but when ripe 
lemon-shaped, or nearly round (globuliform), about the size 
of a small playing marble. The plant corresponds perfectly 
with F. Lichtensteinii formerly cultivated at the Jardin du 
Roi at Paris, and which probably came from Berlin, as it is
