THE GENUS KALCHBRENNERA. 



This is a very peculiar genus, known only from South Africa, 

 and but one species. It has a stipe bearing a clathrate structure 

 similar to the genus Simblum, bxit from the net proceed large, knobbed 

 projections. 



KALCHBRENNERA CORALLOCEPHALA (Figs. 91 and 

 92). The only species grows in South Africa, and there appears to 

 be rather a frequent plant. It is a very showy plant, of a bright red 

 color in all its parts. The gleba covers the outer portion of the net 

 and to an extent hides the network. It was a number of years before 

 its correct structure was known, and it was Kalchbrenner who made 

 a good picture of it and first showed it.
