their outer surface, except a narrow, transparent, membranous edge, hairs 

 tapering, simple, transparent, colourless, arising from slight glandular 

 elevations. Corolla (little more than half an inch across) of three flat, 

 spreading, ovate petals, pure white, and twice as long as the calyx, every 

 where smooth. Stamens six, erect, shorter than the corolla ; filaments 

 colourless, smooth, excepting at the base, where each is surrounded with 

 a tuft of jointed colourless hairs, as long as itself; anthers orange co.* 

 loured, kidney-shaped, loculaments distant, bursting at the edge ; pollen 

 yellow. Pistil single, white ; stigma small ; style longer than the sta- 

 mens, tapering both above and below ; germen obovate, trigcmous, tri- 

 locular. 

 We received, at the Royal Botanic Garden, from Berlin, a plant of this 

 species, under the name of T. crassula. Link, in June 1828, and another 

 from Robert Barclay, Esq. Buryhill, in October following, under the 

 name of T. crassipes. I adopt the former, from an apprehension that it 

 may be already published in some work which I have not seen. The 

 plants flowered in the stove in December and January last. They have 

 not produced seed, but will be easily propagated by their rooting stem. 

 I. have no information regarding the native country of the species.
