 or shortly 2-lobed et the apex, with the notch goplng and l-2-| 

 lines deep, and the lobes rounded or somewhat conical on the top, 

 very obtuse and often faintly keeled transversely to the orifice; 

 substance soft and pulpy, smooth, glabrous, uniforraly light green 

 to the lower part, vdth the top of the lobes pallucid or semi- 

 transparent, of a pale and slightly yellowish green. Flowers seen 

 only in a withered condition. '^Blyx. 5-lobed, co?rered with micros- 

 coric points, green; lobes about 2 lines long, deltoid-ovate, obtuse, 

 with rather narrow, membranous margins. Corolla apparently about 

 7-8 lines in diameter; tube 2g lines long; outer petals in 2 or 3 

 series, rbout 3 lines long end l/3-line broad, cimeetely linear, 

 obtusely rounded or notched at the apex; inner petals (or, perhars, 

 staminodes) 2-gf lines long, filiform.. S-tamens numerous, in several 

 series, arising at different heights all v.ay up the corolla-tube 

 from its base, about 2 Dines long and the upper exserted about I* 

 line from the corolla-tube. Stigmas 6, arising from the raised 

 central part of the top of the ovary, slenderly subulate and about 

 1 line long and 1 line broad; expanding -keels contiguous into a stout 

 central keel, honey-coloured, v.dth broad, membranous marginal vdngs, 

 united in pairs between the valves; cells v/ithout cell-wings or pla- 

 cental tubercles. Seeds about l/5-line long, somev/hat -tear-shar.ed, 

 smooth, light brov/n.

This would appear to be near C. subfenestratum, Schwant., which 

 i hove not seen, but according to the imperfect description of it 

 C, subfenestrr turn differs from C. i-^ughani b y having obconic growths 

 of a bright end shining green, with the lobes marked with large and 

 crowded, pelludd dots, and the carsule with only 4 valves and cells; 

 also it grows in Nemaqualand, in a different locality,
