This is evidently closely related to T, spathulete, ■^chv/ant., 

 differing by the absence of the ebrupt, short point at the apex of the 

 leaves and the colour of the flowers. The above description is made 

 partly from the type specimens and a photograph of the plant that 

 have been very kindly lent to me by Dj.. R. w^arloth and partly from 

 the original figure and description.

 central point, and narrov;ed dov.mvards from about the middle into a

53 Stemless succulent rerennials, v/ith a firm, fleshy rootstock, 

 deeri-rooting, glabrous. Leaves opDOsite, united at the base, arran- 

 ged in dense rosettes of 3-4 pairs to a grov^th, ascending-spreading 

 or spreading-lanceclate, linear-lanceolate or ovate, acute, flat on 

 the face, rounded on the back at the basal part and keeled and trig- 

 onous at the apical part, covered with slightly raised, whitish or 

 greenish rustules or raised dots. Fiovrers solitary, subsessile or 

 pedicellate. Cplyx produced above its union with the ovary into a 

 short cup, subeauelly or uneoually 5-lobed above, letals numerous, 

 free, in 3-4 series, cuneately^-linear or linear, laxly recurving in 

 an irregular manner in different series. Stamens humerous, arising 

 from the top of the calyx-cup and arranged in an erect, coluianar 

 mass, with their basal parts more or less concealed from vievv by 

 the base of the petals. Stigmas usually 9 or 10 (occasionally 6-8),
