chell, at non in eodem loco cum disci Ge- 
nuina species, a semine constan 
Osns. It appears on a recent iéceiilitnitiodi and 
cultivation, that we have five or six species or 
sub-species of dagger-leaved Mesembryanthema 
greatly resembling inni other; but which keep 
distinet from seeds in our gardens, and which 
cannot indeed be yiéfeiscnio any other manner, 
except in the sub-species ramiger, which may 
perhaps be propagated from its true branches; 
for I have once known the head of pugioniforme 
grow, cut off leneath the leaves; but the plant 
itself, although a fine one, and ca y treated, 
died in consequence of the decapitation.
