decipiens. G. (the dark deceiving) simplex : foliis erecto-ex- 

 25. pansis, ovato-acuminatis inflexo-concavis superne ca- 

 * rinatis ; nigro-viridibus, granulis confluentibus nigris : 

 antiquis laevescentibus. 

 Haworthia nigricans. Nob. in Phil. Mag. Oct. 1824. 



Obs. This very singular plant was published as 

 above, on its recent arrival from Africa, and its native 

 leaves described ; which have altered since amazingly : 

 and to our extreme surprise the plant produced last 

 autumn the strong tall flower-stem and bracteee of a 

 common Gasteria, and soon after evolved the proper 

 flowers of one, with more coloured tips than usual ! 

 Wherefore, its first specific name being occupied, I 

 have called it decipiens. 



Obs. A.D. 1827, August. The plant has now three 

 flower-stems of moderate height, in full and very high- 

 coloured bloom : its leaves are much larger, and be- 

 come nearly smooth, and more polished than formerly. 

 carinata. G. (keeled, sparsed rough) sobolifer: foliis rectis 



26. inaequaliter trigonis, tuberculis sparsis scaberrimis 

 albicantibus.

strigata. G. (keeled strigate rough) sobolifer: foliis rectis 



27. inasquali-trigonis, tuberculis magnis albis subconfluen- 

 *. tibus saepe strigatis. 



Obs. Ex Africa australiore in locis natalibus invenit 

 amicus Dom. Bowie, misitque ad regium hortum Kew- 

 ensem circiter annum 1824. 



Obs. G. carinata; simillima, at major, foliis undique 

 magis fasciatim, quam strigatim sparsimve maculatis, 

 seu verrucosis : verrucis paucioribus albidioribus magis 

 distantibus et majoribus : necnon in pagina sujoeriore 

 lapvioribus, seu minus exstantibus quam in iuferiore.
