 Described '"roni a living nlant in the collection of -^r. ^- '^. -i^ates, 

 of Hounslw;, after vrhora I have much pleasure in naming it, and v.ho 

 obtained it from I-r. 3. Ta3rlor, of Southborough, Kent, vrithout in- 

 fornation as to origin. 



7a, — 3. breve, ^^. 3. ^r. — 'Growths as first developed after 

 importation, 3-4 lines high and 3-4 lines in diameter, obconic, 

 fl^ttish or flattish-convex and circular in outline at the top 

 (t^rne 3); orifice l-lf line long, scarcely depressed, glabrous, 

 smooth, rale glaucous-green, v/ith a fev/ indistnct dots of a darker 

 tint scattered over the top. Calyx r,ertly exserted, 5-§-lobed, 

 reddish; tube^rather short and stout, ] line long, and * line 

 broad; lobes £-1 line long, oblong or ovate, obtuse, Corolla 

 (only a dried flovier seen) apparently about 4-5 lines in diameter 

 tube moderately stout, li line long, not exceeding the calyx; 

 retals not very numerous, apparently in one series, if line long, 

 linear, clear yellcrtA', 3tam-ens about twenty, all exserted arising 

 ^t the mirMle of the corolla- tube, about 1 line long; anthers light 

 3''eilovT. Glends united into a nale honey-coloured reng. -^tyle 

 none; sti^ias 4-5, erect, i line long, filiform, apparently yellov/- 

 ish. Top of the ovary very prominent end convexly conical. Little 

 ^'''anapup.l&nd; near Steinkopf, "eyer, --^rloth 6,513. 



This species is allied to C. minutiflorum and C. pageae, end 

 the andistinctl3'- dotted rrovths, the stout calyx- tube, the stamens 

 = 11 being ex serted p.nd *">^ ^ r-ore rrorrinent to'^ of the ov--ry very 

 well distinguish it.

22a, — C. cibdelum, N. E. B^, — Crrowths 6-9 lines long (prob- 

 ably much s'-'orter ans smaller under ns tur? 1 conditions), 3-5 lines 

 broad, and 3-41- lines thick, obconic, broadly elliptic or circular 

 in outline at the tor, in side view the top is convex with a rather 

 narro-"" and samevjhat cutlike notch at the orifice (type ^) , and in 

 end viev/ the top is ver-- obtusely ridged; orifice 1-1', line long, 

 v;ith s much impressed dimple at each end of it; surface smooth, 

 c-labrous, green, perhaps grey-green under continuous sunshine, plen- 

 tifull:^ srrinkled with separate small dots of a darker green, which 

 are not arranged in any pattern, and the orifice outlined with sim- 

 il'^r se'^arate or connected dots, ^lov/ers not seen. South —frica ; 

 loc'-lit:'- and collector unknov.n. 



Although I have had this Dlant in cultivation for nine years 

 it ha;? never flo'-ered durinr^ thet period. Vj evfed from .sbove it some- 

 -'hat resemble C. trunca tellu- on a sma'' 1 scrip but differs from 

 that srecies by its growths being constant ""ly of onlj'- about half 

 the d-pneter of t^-ose of th^t species, of a more grass-green 

 colour, and the orifice is not v.-r-essed as it is in C. truncatellun.
