 style vei-y short. 



Found near Port Alfred and Carlisle FricTge. To this variety 

 mnst also be referred some specimens collected by T. R. Sini' 

 (No. 1209, Kingwilliamstown, alt. 1200', Kov. 1,S92), while some 

 of E E. Galpin's specimens from Queenstown (Xos I9(S5, 19S(), 

 alt. 3500-4000', Feb., ]\Tarch, 1896) show most of the characters of 

 this variety, but their leaves have papillose-ciliate margins. 



var. d. cordiitd. — Stem more richly branched than in t he- 

 preceding varieties, about 15 cm. high. All leaves with papillose- 

 ciliate margin, short and thick, convex above and below, lowest 

 ovate-oblong, acute, about 2 cm. long, 9 mm. broad, 4 mm. thick, 

 gradually getring rmaller, however in the ultimate branches they 

 have all, except those close to the apex, about equal size. In these 

 ultimate branches they are heart-shaped, 5-7 mm. long, 4-() mm. 

 In-oad, closely crowded together, and drop oflp just before the 

 flowers open. Inflorescence few-flowered, terminal or sul)-ter- 

 minal, ses^le. Flowers shortly pedicellate ; calyx-lobes deltoid,. 

 0.75 mm. long ; petals 2.5 mm. long, 1 mm. broad ; stamens 2 mm. 

 long: carpels 1.1 mm. long, -style nearly half the lenglh of the 

 ovary, thick. 



Sheldon, Mrs. C. Hutton, 



A plant collected at sevei-al places in Natal by Mr. J. M. Wood 

 (Nos. 942 and 5;U6) recently descril^ed as CrasxiiJa hrevixtylay 

 Bak. fil. (Bull, de T herb. Boiss. tome III, 2 me serie, 1903, p. 813) ; 

 was considered by me some years ago- to be Gt\ corymhuhisa^ 

 Link var. I have not seen it recently, but I think the determina- 

 tion was correct. One peculiar feature found in this, and very few 

 other species of Grassula, namely the ciliae on the inner margin 

 of the carpels, is present in var. a, h, and d, and is indicated in 

 var. c, even when it is otherwise quite glabrous. 



Crassula hrachyfieMa., E. Mey., var. parvisepala, Schonl. n, 

 var. — Stem subterete, leaves somewhat shorter than in the type, 

 sepals shorter than the petals.

 Station, Kingwilliamstown, alt. 1500', T. R. Sim, No. 1200, Ap.

I have not seen the type of C. hrachynetala, E. Mey., wdiich 

 is not in Harvey's Herbarium, but judging from the description it 

 agrees with the above-mentioned specimens in many points (stem.
