I'r. Schvrsntes having kindl;/ sent to me a nortion of his type 

 c-f" ". ^heuvinipe, I find it identical v/ith G. gracilistylum ( a 

 nane first r>ublished in 19is). -^-^e slso informed me that he also 

 "believed his '^■'. ?ngeiforme to be the same plrnt, but th^t it has 

 nov' entirely died out of cultivation, ^s one of ray plants of C. 

 gr?cil? stylum has rrodxiced imperfectly formed growths that were 



clavete, terete, globose above and about one cm. thick," as de- 

 scribed by I'r. Schwanted for I", angeiforme, I have no doubt that 

 he 3=; i^erfectly correct in believing ^". angeiform.e synonymous v/ith 

 C. f-recilist^T-lum. 



13a. — G. inornetum, ^^, 3, Bp, — Gr^-iV/ths very small under 

 cultivation, 2-4 lines high, and l^-^h lines in dicmeter, obconic, 

 convex and circul? r in outline at the top (tyrjce CJ) ; orifice t line 

 long, level vith the surface, not at all depressed; surfcce smooth, 

 glabrous, green or greyish-green, often tinted with purple on the 

 sides, with the orifice rather indistinctly outlines with darker 

 f'reen, end often having s ruri^le dot on each side et the centre, and 

 with about 2-8 separate, indistinct dots scattered over the top, or 

 sometimes almost without markings. ^lov/ers not seen.

I ha-^-e had this plant in cultivation for nine ye^rs and it has 

 never flov/ered vdth me, nor does it grow larger than the dimensions 

 riven, so I expect that unde^- neturp]. conditions the growths v/ould 

 scrrc^--''^^ i^e more than 14--2 lines in diameter.
