16. Echeveria lurida Haw. in Tayl. Phil. Mag. 10: 418. 1831. 



Cotyledon lurida Baker in Saund. Ref. Bot. 1 : pi. 59. 1869.

 5-10 cm. long, 1.5-2.5 cm, broad, somewhat glaucous, acute, tinged with purple, especially 

 when old ; flowering branches 3-5 cm. long, 12-20-flowered ; flowers axillary ; bracts linear- 

 lanceolate; pedicels 4-6 mm. long, spreading or the lowest recurved; sepals thick, spread- 

 ing or even reflexed ; corolla bright-red, 12-15 mm, long.

In Saunders' Refugium Mr. Baker combines B. racetnosa and E. lurida^ partly on account, 

 doubtless, of the fact that M. lurida was known in cultivation under both names. In 1897 Mr. 

 Rose visited Jalapa, Mexico, the type locality of E. racemosa^ where he collected and sent home 

 considerable living material. This has been under observation for a number of years and has 

 been carefully compared with cultivated specimens of E. lurida. It has much broader leaves, 

 longer and erect pedicels, ascending sepals and paler flowers. 



17. Echeveria racemosa Schlecht. & Cham. I^innaea 5 : 554. 1830. 



Stemless, glabrous and even glaucous. Basal leaves numerous, forming a dense rosette, 

 deep-purple, concave, broad and rather thin or somewhat fleshy, 5 cm, long or less ; flow- 

 ering branches 1 to several, from the axils of the lower leaves, 2-3 dm. high, ascending, 

 leafy-bracted (the leaves falling off at the merest touch even in growing plants) ; inflores- 

 cence a single equilateral raceme, 20-40-flowered ; flowers strictly axillary ; pedicels 2-4 

 mm. long ; sepals somewhat unequal, acute, ascending ; corolla yellowish, strongly 5- 

 angled, 11-12 mm. long, the lobes erect. 



Type locality : Jalapa, Mexico. 

 Distribution : Jalapa.

19. Echeveria maculata Rose, Bull. IST. Y. Bot. Gard. 3 : 7. 1903.

 flowering branches stout, 6-8 dm. long, their lower leaves 8-10 cm. long; inflorescence 

 paniculate, the lower branches bearing 3 or 4 sessile flowers arranged along one side of the 

 branch, the upper flowers in the panicle axillary and sessile ; sepals very unequal, some- 

 what spreading, fleshy, acute ; corolla pale lemon-yellow, 10 mm. long ; lobes free nearly 

 to the base, acute at tip and slightly spreading. 



Type locality: Dublan, Hidalgo, Mexico.
