To the Editor of the Philosophical Magazine a7id Journal. 



Sir, 



HEREWITH I transmit to you a foarth Decade of Succu- 

 lent Plants, all rather recently received from the Cape of 

 Good Hope, and by far the greater part of them first disco- 

 vered there by the spirited and successful researches of Mr. 

 Bowie ; and all, save two, now flourishing in our gracious so- 

 vereign's collections at Kew, in the greatest perfection. 



These plants are all interesting to the lovers of the Succu- 

 lent tribes, and some of them are formed upon a plan as new 

 as it is wonderful even to the eye of a Succulent botanist,--I 

 allude more especially to the structure of the strange Bulbine 

 hereunder enumerated and described. And they are all, as 

 far as I have been able to discover, hitherto unrecorded in the 

 books of botanical science. Trusting therefore that the com- 

 munication will be acceptable to you, and find an admission 

 into the next Number of your useful Journal, 



I remain, sir, yours, &c.
