Obs. This plant must follow A. variegata in my 
arrangement: if it should prove a variety of that 
species, the figures are miserably bad. 
Petiver, in speaking of the three last-mentioned 
figures, and his figure of A. hrborescent (above 
cited), informs us that his paintings of them do not 
much differ from the figures of Plukcnet, which

says the Bishop's paintings were done at the Cape

Obs. If this is a stemless species, it will come 
into my arrangement before A. suberecta; if it is

A.glauca, it should be inserted in my arrangement 
after A. depressa. It differs very much from the 
latter in its high-coloured spines; those of depressa
