First-class Certificate. 
To Kalanchoé flammea, from the Royal Gardens, Kew. This new 
and strikingly beautiful plant from Somaliland is closely allied to the 
Crassulas. The flowers are of a bright red-orange, and continue a 
remarkably long time in bloom. The plant is about a foot or 15 in. high, 
stout, erect, branching, with thick fleshy leaves only slightly glaucous. 
It will probably require the same treatment as the Crassulas. (Fig. 1.)
