This i^lant is onl3'- knov/n to me froin ^alm Dyck's figure snd 

 descrir^tion and a dried specimen of a plant of it cultivated at Kev/ 

 many years ago, but of v/hich I never saw flov.ers or made any noted. 



Although Salm Dj^ck has erroneously figured this as being ivi. 

 aloides, Haw., which is quite e different, plent, there cen be little 

 doubt, I think, that he obtained it from ^ew, and that it is prob- 

 ably one of the plants raised at Kew in 1823 from seeds collected 

 "by 'Boi"ie and named M. albinotum var. ma jus by ^ev/orth, as above 

 quoted, but of which he gave ro descrii^tion, for in vegetative 

 characters Salm Dyck's figure quite agrees v/ith the drawing Alton 

 had made of Hrworth's tj/pe of that variety. The flov;er is not re- 

 T^resented in that drav/ing. 



6. R. albinruncta N. S, Br. — "^eaves many in a rosette, as- 

 cend inc-sprea ding, 9-12 lines long, 2 lines broad and l| line thick, 

 semiterete at the lov/er pert, keeled and trigonous at the a apex, 

 and fattish or slight y convave on the face, and in both front and 

 side vies tapering to an acute point, greyish-green, thickly marked 

 with small, v/hitish dots or pustules. Flowers solitary, sessile or 

 nearly so. Caljrx not described nor figured. Corolla about 14 lines 

 in diameter; metals numerous, in 1-2 series, lax, recurved-spread- 

 ing, very narrowly linear, i-1.3 line broad, acute, yellov/. Sta- 

 mens n\amerous, erect in a cylindric mass, represented as yellow. 

 Stigmas not represented so proba' ly shorter than the stamens.

Described partly from '^aworth's original description and partly 

 from ^worth's original descrintion and nartly from a drav/ing of the 

 tyne plant labelled "Raised in 1823 from' ^are of Good Ho^^e seeds 

 received from l«'r. BoA«rie." 



The above is all that is known of this plant as ^''^rs. Bolus's 

 identification of '■-. albinunctum, ^avi. , is entirely v/rong.
