NEW PLANTS. 



OTYLEDON VELHTINA, Velvety-leaved Cotyledon {Bot. ilfa^., t. 5684). 

 — Crassulaceje. A handsome South African plant, introduced by Mr. 

 Saunders, of Reigate, through his collector, Mr. Cooper. It ic a stout 

 succulent plant, two to three feet high, with rather glaucous stem and 

 dark green foliage. The panicle is flat-beaded, bearing a number of 

 pendulous flowers, which are pale greenish yellow, with purplish margins. 

 Speaking of plants of this kind, Dr. J. D. Hooker says, "Amongst the species are some 

 with the most beautifully coloured foliage, and others with very handsome flowers, 

 which, together with the facility with which they are cultivated in dwelling-houses 

 or small greenhouses, if even of indifferent construction, render them well adapted, 

 for supplying the horticul'ural requirements of the less wealthy and even the 

 poorer classes who inhabit the outskirts of our great towns, k. distribution of such 

 succulent plants as these, would give far more enduring pleasure to the poorer 

 classes, than the ^'craniums and verbenas of the parks, given away at the end of 

 the season, when it is almost impossible to keep them alive without heat and glass, 

 and quite impossible to flower them."
