 It is worthy of note that in Cr. cori/Dihulo.'ia, Link, which also 

 comes very close to Or. Tiirrita, Thunb., the flowers are quite

Crassuhi Hudulom, Schunl. n. sp. Herbaceous, perennial, 

 35-40 cm. high, stem covered with a short dense fulvous indu- 

 ment, upright, only branched from the l^ase, with only a few 

 radical leaves and 8 or 9 stem leaves which are followed by 30 or 

 more bracts bearing capitate cymules in their axils ; leaves sessile, 

 lowest about 4 cm. long, obovate-spathulate, subacute, subgla- 

 brous, margin cartilagineo-ciliate, higher \ip the leaves are ovate-acute 

 and pass gradually into the bracts which are broadly ovate-acute and 

 scabrid on the back with a ciliate margin ; the lowest bracts about 

 1 cm. long, exceed the cymules in length, but they get gradually 

 smaller and about midway in the floral region the cymules begin 

 to exceed them in length ; internodes getting very gradually 

 smaller (lowest 1-5 cm. long, lowest in the floral region c. 1 cm.) 

 until near the apex the cymules touch one another ; calyx nearly 

 2-5 mm. long, lobes c. 1-5 mm. long, broadly lanceolate, acute, dor- 

 sally papillose, irregularly ciliolate on the maigin ; petals upi-ight, 

 ovate, connate at the base, white, 3 mm. long, with a small cylin- 

 drical "mucro" dorsally below the apex : stamens attached to the 

 corolla-tube, nearly as long as the petals, filaments subulate, 

 anthers ovate ; carpels about f the length of the petals, ovary 

 obliquely ovate, style distinct though short, squamae small, 

 cuneate, subtruncate above, membranous, deep orange-coloured.
