This plaiit has a very wide range and varies somewhat in appearance, bvit I 

 cannot find any distinctive characters in the dried specimens to separate more than 

 the one variety. The leaf-scars are iisually narrow and somewhat crescent-like, 

 but sometuues (by a corky growth ?) they enlarge into dark brown or blackish 

 tubercles, producing the form known as E. mckmostirta, E. Meyer. This form aiul 

 the typical one, however^ occur on the same plant, E, pihyrnaioclada, Boiss., and 

 E, Hjdnoriv^ E. Meyer, are both founded upon the same specimen, Drege, 2943. 



69. E. patula (Mill. Gard. Diet. ed. viii. no. 11); succulent and 

 spineless; stem 6-7 in. high, tapering upwards, producing at the 

 top a few tapering branches, spreading on every side, not (''Bcaly ") 

 tuberculate and bearing at tlieir tips several small narrow deciduous 

 leaves ; flowers unknown. 



South Africa : formerly cultivated at Chelsea, 



Haworth refers this plant to his Dadtflanthes patida, but Millers description 

 does not seem to accord with that plant, which is a synonym of E. ornithoptis,
