to 7 on each side, reticulately united, nearly as evident from 
the upper side, the reticulations numerous and quite con-

nal, upon stout green 1.5 cm long peduncles, also glabrous; 
fruits 3, much compressed, truncately rounded or bluntly 
dentate at the apex, base broadly obtuse, quite veiny in the dry 
state, 3.5 cm wide toward the apex, obovate in outline, 
hard, flat, green, 5 cm long, rosettely spreading, more or 
less descending, dry, 1-celled, ultimately splitting through the

frutescence on our material is entirely different from the 
branching of the inflorescence of Dr. Lawson’s species,
