20 REPORT ON TWO BOTANICAL. COLLECTIONS FROM 
late ovati, obtusi, apice inflexi, glabri. Petala calyce duplo longiora. Stamina 5. 
Stylus 3-fidus. Semina tuberculata. 
A small succulent herb, branching at the base, with branches 2-3 in. long, glabrous, 
with the exception of the tufts of long white hairs in the axils of the leaves and around 
the flowers. Leaves 14-3 lin. long, i-$ lin. broad, flattened, linear-oblong or oblong- 
lanceolate, obtuse, tapering at the base into a short petiole, glabrous. Flowers small. 
Sepals 3 lin. long, rather more than 3 lin. broad, broadly ovate, obtuse, inflexed at the 
apex, concave, not keeled on the back, glabrous. Petals 14 lin. long, only seen in a 
withered state, apparently obtuse. Stamens 5, shorter than the petals. Style filiform, 
with 3 filiform stigmas. Upper half of the capsule broadly conical. Seeds j lin. diam., 
tuberculate, the tubercles on the sides very much larger than those on the back, black.

Allied to Portulaca parvula, A. Gray, but differing in its shorter leaves, fewer 
stamens, and larger and more coarsely tuberculate seeds.

1 am doubtful of my identification of this plant, and it may prove to be a new species, 
but the specimen only consists of three flowers and two leaves, all detached. They agree 
fairly well with the flowers and leaves of C. Planchoniana, with the exception that the 
leaves are rather more obtuse and have stouter petioles.

Summit of Mount Roraima, MeConnell & Quelch, 84, 664.—HEndemic. According to 
Mr. Quelch, “this is the commonest and most widely spread species on the summit, 
rising to 35-40 ft. in height, where sheltered."
