Mr. H&wovth's Fourth Decade of new SucciiletU Plants. 31 



Corolla parva campanulata nivea petalis 5 (ordinariis) 

 basi solum coalitis et imbricantibus, erectim incurvo- 

 recurvulis inflexo-concavis ovato-oblongis calyce ses- 

 quilongioribus mucrone obtuso infra apicem externe. 

 Filamenta alba. Anthercc erectse oblongo-cordatEe ob- 

 tusae rubrae polline luteo. Styli 5 albi erecti adpressi 

 (cum germinibus) obclavati, stigmatibus inconspicuis 

 atque quam antheris humilioribus aliquantillum. 



Obs. Folia juniora laevissime connata, et basi (lente 

 Optimo) minutissime albo-ciliata, ciliis decurrentulis 

 paululiim. Emortua folia saspe plus minus persistentia, 

 erecta tortave emarcida. 



Nulla mihi nota species affinis. A Crass, imbricata, 

 quae sessiles laterales flores gevit, differt, foliis chiplo 

 majoribus distantioribus, necnon terminalibus cymoso- 

 umbellatis floribus: sed fortasse a})proximat Linnsei 

 Crasstilam pyramidalem. 



Obs. In this place I avail myself of the opportunity 

 of giving a further description of Crassula rotundifolta 

 of page 188 of the Philosophical Magazine for Septem- 

 ber 1824, whose flowers I had not then dissected, and 

 which prove it to be a genuine species of Kalavc/ioe, 

 VIZ. Kalanchoe rotimdifolia : subherbacea erecta 

 foliis petiolatis subrotundis paucidentatis imis intetjer- 

 rimis. " 



Descriptio. Catdis florifer pedalis et ultra. Flores 

 terminales corymboso-paniculati. Pedtmculi tereto- 

 clavati glabri (uti tota planta) Calyx 4-phyllus foliolis 

 subtnangularibus plano-turgidis acutis, et (cum co- 

 rolla) germine adpressis. Coi-olla 4-fida (in Januario 

 mense) maperta, pallide rufa s. anrea, inferne pal- 

 hdior, laciniis angustis acutis. Stamina 8, viridi- 

 lutescentia tubo fere ad apices connata, horuni 4, fere 

 altitudine tubi, et 4 alternantia breviora. Germina 

 erecta grossa viridia, superne cum stylis brevissimis 

 contmuantibus attenuata, stigmatibus in lente, minutis 

 rotundatis hyalinis, embryonibus (germinis) incipienti- 

 bus numerosis rotundis pellucentibus. 



A Kalanchoe (Egyptiacd (cui proxima) discrepat ca- 

 lyce adpresso, foliisque rotundioribus.
