CRASSULACEJE. 
1. BRYOPHYLLUM CALYCINUM, Salisb.; DC. Prod. iii. 996; Britten, in Oliv. Fl. Trop. 
Afr. ii. 390. 
Hab. Madi, not in flower, Col. Grant ! 
[Very succulent plant, 2 feet high, growing in the shade of a huge tree in low ground at Madi. It 
was not in flower during December. Тһе natives think it has some virtue; for they grow it in certain 
places, and call it “ m'teloandeb'weh."—J. А. G.] 
2. KALANCHOE, sp.—K. glandulosa, Hochst. ; App. Speke’s Journ. 685 ; referred to by 
. Britten in Oliv. Fl. Trop. Afr. ii. 897. Not K. glandulosa; but, the only specimen being 
destitute of leaves, I am unable to name or describe it. Col. Grant’s memoranda of the 
“structure of the flower agree perfectly with the generic character. 
Наб. Karagué, Dec. 1861, Col. Grant ! 
[Fleshy plant, 4 feet high, in а dry ravine, Karagué hills. Stem decumbent and slightly downy ; 
branches opposite, erect, bare, and leafy only near the ground; fleshy bracts beneath the branches ; 
` leaves 6 by 4 inches, smooth, very succulent, with crenate edges. Uncommon. Flowers in December at 
the above locality.—J. А. G.]

Angola by Dr. Welwitsch, and South Africa by Zeyher and Baines. 
[The Boss rock, by which this woody plant was obtained, is peculiar to this part of Africa. It was a 
bare rounded mass of igneous rock 40 feet above the level of the forest, and, say, a quarter of a mile in 
circumference of base. The plant was found in a bog at the foot of the rock, in flower during December.
