 Overy included. Calyx 4-lobed. Petals v/hite. Very like the 

 preceding (i.e., ^'. bbcordellura) and of the seme size or a little 

 larfrer, and apparently distinct. It differs by being less obcor- 

 dete and less glaucous, and with the spots less branched, but Biore 

 elevated or tubercle-like," 



Fron these descriptions it is clear thdt there is no real 

 specific distinction between them, the only distinctions mentioned 

 beine: that one is more glauce^^oent than the other and the markings 

 differently branched and differently elevated. -hese characters 

 of coloiir and markings however, I find, very on different individ- 

 uals o'*" t^-is (and also of other) snecies, v^/hen a sufficient number 

 of different individuals are examined. By different individuals, 

 I mean sei^arate plants originating from separate seeds,

This is one of the most distinct species of this genus, being 

 easily recognised by the denressed tor and rather large, raised, 

 blackish dots, confluent into lines,
