corona is exactly the same as in the typical Indian species of Caralluma. 
There is a specimen of this plant in the Berlin Herbarium, labelled 
as having been collected at Olifants River, and flowered in the garden 
of Mr. Hesse, but no date is mentioned on the label.—N. E. Brown.

The Ookeep plant (No. 27) differs from that from Klipfontein in 
being destitute of an outer corona, and the inner corona less developed,

which have been dried or preserved in spirits, as in these latter a con- 
siderable amount of shrinking takes place, and the sides of the lobes 
of the outer corona are not folded in quite the same manner as 
when alive; my drawing represents the corona faithfully as seen when 
alive, under a com i microscope, and magnified about 30 dia- 
meters.—_N, E. Bro
