is manifestly a specimen of Z. Afrum : so also from the same 

 collection a plant distributed under the name of L. campanula-' 

 turn, E. Mey., and referred by M. Dunal to L. rigidum^ var. 

 )8. latifolium-grandijlorumy from the specimen in Sir W. Hooker^s 

 herbarium^ is also L. Afrum : it is not unfair to conclude that 

 the other variety^ a. latifolium-parvijlorumy belongs to some other 



species.

This plantj cultivated in the Botanic Garden of Montpelier 

 under the name of L. carnosumj is probably of African origin. 

 From M. DunaVs description I have placed it in this section.

This is certainly very distinct in the structure of its flowers 

 frbm L. Ruthenicum : the nodes are about i inch apart, the spines 

 of the same length, the leaves 3 to 5 lines long, and barely a line

 inserted in the lower t

expansion which is ciliated on the margin; the stamens are 

 equal, and nearly attain the length of the segments*.
