NOTES 361 
A. Kochit. 
This species is closely related to A. xylonacantha, but has 
sufficient characters to be considered specifically distinct. It 
flowered in the summer of 1909 and subsequently died, but having 
produced many seeds we were enabled to propagate and distribute 
it. It is smaller than A. zylonacantha, and has narrower and 
more numerous leaves. 
A. latissima. 
This plant is known in gardens as A. coccinea, which, of course, 
resembles it to some extent. It is no doubt the A. latissima of 
Jacobi, a very distinct species, and by no means a mere variety 
of A. atrovirens or A. Salmiana. 
A. Legrelliana. 
A most beautiful plant, with enormous orange flowers; accord- 
ing to Prof. Trelease the most imposing species when in bloom. 
Our plant was received through the kindness of Prof. C. F. Baker, 
when in Santiago de las Vegas, in Cuba, and came from the coast 
hills of Cojimar. So far the rosette has not produced any sucker. 
It seems to be hardier than A. Willdingit. 
A. lurida. 
We have at least three different plants under this name. In 
agreement with Mr. Drummond I retain the name for what is 
known in gardens here as A. mexicana. 
A. macroacantha. 
The variety planifolia has the leaves flatter, or even concave 
above, with smaller marginal spines than the type. 
A. marmorata. 
A very decorative species, with almost white and very rough 
leaves, was received from Kew and Palermo, and flowered in June, 
1911. It has small bright yellow flowers. 
A. massiliensis. 
Probably of garden origin; was grown from seeds received 
from Messrs. Haage & Schmidt, of Erfurt, in March, 1901. 
A. miradorensis. 
This plant is now frequently seen, as the inflorescence produces 
bulbils. It resembles A. szsalana, but has denticulate leaves. 
A. mortolensis.* 
This seems to be a hybrid which has originated in our garden, 
* A. mortolensis Berger, n. hybr.—Rosula maxima, acaulis, sobolifera.
