' Whole plant densely glandular pubescent, of same size as the 

 type. 



The species is variable as regards the distribution and amount of 

 hairiness, but this extreme form is distinct, and a very beautiful 

 object under the lens.

" Feuilles largement ovoides, tres epaisses, grandes (5-10 millim. 

 de long) ; tiges, feuilles, rejets, inflorescence glabres." I have found

several very large forms in cultivation agreeing with var. macrophyllum, 

 except that the plants vary from almost glabrous to rather hairy ; 

 it seems best to extend the description so as to include all, as the 

 large size is the striking character, and hairiness is so variable in 

 the species. 



Var. Suendermanni Praeger in Journ. of Bot., 57, 50, 1919 (fig. 98). 



Plant larger than in type, leaves of barren shoots densely imbricate, 

 obovate, bluntly pointed at apex, cuneate below, flat on face, densely 

 glandular-hairy ; inflorescence larger and more branched than in type ; 

 calyx half as long as the corolla ; flowers large, /^ inch diameter, 

 petals 5 to 7 in number (usually 6). Flowers late July, about six 

 weeks after dasyphyllum type. 



A peculiar form, well distinguished by its densely imbricated 

 leaves and abundant, very large flowers, which in diameter are one and 

 a half times the size of those of the type.
