XXIX. Description of New Succulent Plants. By A. H. Ha*- 

 worth, Esq. F.L.S. SfC. 



To the Editors of the Philosophical Magazine and Annals. 

 Gentlemen, 

 TJAVING finished another new Decade, viz. the eleventh, 

 ■*■ -t of new Succulent Plants, which may now commence a se- 

 cond century of them, I lose no time in forwarding it to you, 

 as under ; hoping it may soon find a place in your very useful 

 Annals. 



The Decade contains, as usual, a regular and scientific dis- 

 tribution and description of ten distinct species of Succulent 

 Plants ; all, as far as my long experience enables me to deter- 

 mine, perfectly new and unrecorded. And no less than eight 

 of these fine plants are from our old and most productive 

 source, the Cape of Good Hope ; where Mr. Bowie, detected 

 them, and succeeded in transmitting them to the royal gardens 

 of Kew, where they are now flourishing, and where the de- 

 scriptions were made from the living plants. 



Of the native countries of the two remaining plants which 

 constitute the Decade, I am not quite so certain. But if they 

 are not both from North America, one of them at least, viz. 

 the Yucca, is probably from thence, as the greater part of its 

 noble genus has been found there. 



I remain, Gentlemen, yours, &c.
