0^5. I have only seen the summit of this fine and 

 very distinct species of Ccreus, which is now growing 

 in the nursery of Mr. Rolls, in the King's Road Chel- 

 sea, amongst a great number of other well-managed 

 Cactaceous plants. Mr. R. procured it from the cap- 

 tain of a French vessel, who brought it from St. Do- 

 mingo. It was tlien about a yard high, and has had 

 large white flowers open night and day, about half a 

 foot long. Its lower part decayed, and the summit 

 only, which is now in fine health and in flower-bud, 

 survived its arduous journey. 



Descriptio. Exemplarium unicum solum vidi ; du- 

 rum lasve perviride diametro 4-5-unciali, porcis fere 

 biuncialibus subacuatis : apice depresso; spinis vari- 

 antibus usque ad 12 in singulo subdistanti fasciculo, 

 validis sesquilineam longis ; lana ordinaria densissima 

 inconspicua, spinis breviore. 



Jerox. C. (Fierce upright) oblongo-teretiusculus: costis sub- 



3. octodecim : spinis divaricantibus fulvis densissime tec- 

 tis. 



Ex Brazil ia introduxit Dom. Loddiges, in cujus exi- 

 mio horto in caldario viget. 



Caudex firmus nunc dodrantalis diametro sub-biun- 

 ciali, atro-viridis, spinis extantibus intricatis horridis 

 fere tectiis : harum sub-sex exteriores in singulo fasci- 

 culo; 4-5 mediocres, unaque centralis duplo longior 

 seu uncialis et sexies crassior plusve. 



Prope Cerenm midtaiigularem locarem, sed ab eo 

 longe nihilominus distat.
