The above description, taken from Hav/orth's account of it, 

 contains all that is knovm of this sr»ecies, v.^'lch is evidently nuite 

 distinct from any that has hitherto been figured and unlike any 

 snecies I Jiave seen, although G-. concavum N.2.%., must be near it. 

 The Ha'"orth states thrt it can be "recognised at sight by its 

 semi-cylindric leaves." '^he large flov;ers with the petals united 

 for a ouarter-of-an-inch at the base, however, distinguishes it 

 from any other species at present knov.Ti. 



In his Hevisiones Plantarum ^ucculentarum Haworth adds two 

 varieties: — var, pallidum, which is a synonym of 13, G. taurinum, 

 N.".or.; and var. heterophyllum, which is a synonym of 16, G.

1-"'. C-. tnvirinura, ^"^.E.Bp. in The Gardeners' Chronicle, 1922, 

 Vol. LXXI, p. 9 or oblioue].v crossing one another,, 2-2^ inches long 

 and 6-9 lines broae, serai-terete, flat above, obliouely convex 

 on the back, one leaf often obljoue (compressed and keeled) at the 

 obtuse apex, very thick, upcurved or incurved, often somev;hat 

 finger-shaped and nearly as large as a finger, "the younger alv/ays 

 incurved and resembling the horns of a bullj^" yellowish-green (in 

 summer time), somevrhat pellucid-punctate, -'^lovfer sessile, ^plyx 

 bifid, with the lobes unequally membranous end keeled, according 

 to Hpv'o-^th, but the flower he examined was doubtless abnormal and 

 normally it probably vrould be 4-lobed. Stigmas 8-9, plumose. Co- 

 rolla not described by Hav/orth, but according to 3alm %ck's figure, 

 ouoted belov", it is about 2-2* inches in die-meter, with the petals 

 in 1-2 series, subacute or bluntly pointed at the apex,
