Os. This extraordinary plant has not yet pro- 
duced any flowers with me. It is completely 
enveloped in a short. dense skin-like cover of 
cottony wool, which is even capable of being 
stripped off the leaves like a skin, leaving the 
leaves themselves green after being divested of 
it. This cotton, if lighted in the flame of a 
candle, &c. slowly consumes in the manner 
of touch paper ; owing to the resinous quality 
this genus abounds in." C. tomentosa is ca- 
- pable of living very long without water, as are 
also other woolly succulents, &c.— Vide re-
