NOTES 367 
A. aristata. 
During the dry summer the rosettes close entirely, being 
wrapped up by the old withered leaves, and nearly buried in the 
ground; they open again with the first autumnal rains. 
A, Bainesit. 
We have a young vigorous plant of this species. Its total 
height is now 3°50 m., its stem 1:90 m. with a diameter of 19 cm. 
So far it has not flowered. It requires a very sheltered place, 
and is apt to suffer during a cold winter. 
A. bamangwatensis. 
This is an interesting form of the widely spread A. zebrina. 
It was sent us by the author, Prof. 8. Schoenland, of Grahamstown, 
in May, 1905. 
A. c@sia. 
This pretty arborescent Aloe is often seen on the Riviera. It 
flowers on into the summer, but seldom fruits. 
A. Cameront. 
_ A tropical species received from Kew. It is not quite hardy 
and is often damaged during winter, but nevertheless flowers 
annually. 
A. capitata. 
Was introduced by the late Max Leichtlin, of Baden-Baden. 
A fine specimen flowered in the open in May, 1899, and produced 
seeds, from which it was propagated and distributed. The old plant, 
figured in my monograph, was killed by frost in January, 1901. 
A. ciliaris. 
Was first sent to La Mortola by Mr. Daniel Hanbury in August, 
1870. It now forms large bushes with intertwining branches, 
which occasionally climb up trees nearly 10 m. high. From 
December to March it is a mass of gorgeous flowers. 
A. conumuutata. 
When out of flower this is difficult to distinguish from 4. 
saponaria. A. tricolor Baker certainly belongs to the same species 
and is scarcely a variety. 
A. Corderoyt. 
This hybrid was raised by the late Mr. Justus Corderoy between 
A. plicatilis and A. variegata, the extremes of the genus. It is a 
dichotomously branched shrub. It flowered first at La Mortola 
in May, 1907. For a full description of this curious plant see my 
monograph of the genus. 
A, Davyana. 
Was kindly sent by Prof. S. Schoenland in May, 1905. It 
flowered in March, 1907. A very similar plant was found in 
the garden, without label, in 1897. Its origin is unknown,
