C. luteum, N. S, Br. — G-rowths obconic, much resemb].ing those 

 of C. truncatellun, N, E. Br., 6-9 lines high and 41-10 lines in 

 diameter at the top, which is circular in outline, truncetely flat 

 or flattish and rounded into the sides, vvlth the orifice li-lt- line 

 long and depressed in a slight transverse depression or, in larger 

 flov/ering growths, almost level with the top; surface smooth, glab- 

 rous, dull green or greyish-green, sprinkled on the top v.ith separate 

 dots of darker green. Calyx in the only flov;ers seen not exserted, 

 2-g-lines lo-'g, shortly 4-lbbed, whitish, but as it flowered in Nov- 

 ember without direct sunlight the flov/ers v/ere probably not prop- 

 erly developed. Corolla 9-10 lines in diameter, expanding in day- 

 time, closed at night; tube partly exserted from the calyx and a- 

 bout 3-|- lines long and 1^ line in its greater diameter, yellow; 

 petals about 5 line long and ^-1 line brosd, obtuse and variably den- 

 ticulate ^t the apex, clear bright yellov.-, shining. Stamens numer- 

 ous, all distinctly exserted from, or the shorter at the mouth of, 

 the corolla-tube; filaments and anthers yellow. Style nearly as 

 lonr 1^5 the lonfest stamens and about ?§ lines in length, vath 4-5 

 small stigmas |--line long at the apex, orange-yellow.

This species, C, longistylurc and ^. truncatellurnm, are ell so 

 similar in their vegetative growths that they might easily be mistaken 

 for one another, but the flowers of all three are entirely different. 



C. notabile, K. E. Br. — Growths v/hen introduced about 6 lines 

 high, 6 lines broad and 5 lines thick, elliptic in outline viev/ed 

 from above end slightly ridged on the otherwise flattish top, after- 

 wards becominr' to 1 line ligh, 1 inch broed and 9 lines thick, com- 

 pressed, keeled over the top and down^he sides, v/ithout anj'' notch, 

 but slightly flattened at the central part of the top and thence 

 rounded into the sides, smooth, glabrous, of a light and slightly 

 bluish-green, with a lunate purple mark on each side of the l-|-line 

 long orifice, and a purple line along the keel over the top, which 

 is sometimes connected v/ith the lunate, marks and sometimes separate 

 from them, without any other dots or markings. Flowers unknown. 



Believed to a native of Little •'■'^amaqualand, but locality and 

 collector unknovm. 



A single growth of tViis very distinct srecies was given to me 

 by I'r. T). O'Donohue in 1927, soon after it v;8s imported, and after 

 two years' cultivation has greatly increased in size and atered in 

 Shane as above described, but still remains only a single grov.th, 

 so that it evidently does not increase ver^' ranidly and has not 

 other sT^ecies known to me t'-^st I have no hesitation in describing it.

 imported are i-l inch high, 3-8 lines broad and 2-|--7 lines thick,
