seems impossible to determine accurately wliich plant Tluniberij-

C. Bolusii, Schonl. was described by me (Rec. Alb. Mus. I, 

 p. 59) from dried specimens. As I have a live specimen of the 

 var. karruoensis before me, I will give a full description of it. 



Wnole plant quite glaljrous (with the exception of the throat 

 of the corolla which is pa})illose). Stem ascending, upright in the 

 upper I, fleshy, about 5 cm. high, knobby at the scars of the old
