CERKUS COLUBRINUS Otto. 



CEREUS VIRIDIFLORUS Engelm. 



The Green-llowered Cfreus of the Rocky 

 Mountains is especially beautiful on ac- 

 count of the red, purple and white spines 

 with wh'ch the plant is covered. Flow- 

 ers numerjvs, qi'lte lirg? and showy, 

 light-yellowlsh-sreen, very hardy and eas- 

 ily grown. 



ANEMONE 'WHIRLWIND.' 

 A strong, perfectly hardy, double white 

 anemone, IVz to 3 feet high, flowers 2VL-3 

 inches across. Orlg.na.ed with Jam s 

 Vlck's sons. 



ECHINOCACTUS CHRYSACANTHUS O. 



Globose to cylindrical, v»i h about 18 

 ribs and 10 flexuous annulated central 

 spines 2 inches long, and 4 to many slen- 

 der white radial spines. Flowers satiny 

 yellow, more rarely crimson. Cedros Is- 

 land. 

 ECHINOCACTUS LECONTEI Engelm. 



Plant 3-4 feet high, about one-third that 

 in diameter, clavate; flo.ver 2 inches long, 

 lemon yellow. Type locality on the low- 

 er parts of the G.la and Colorac'o rivers, 

 and in Sonera.' The Mohave and Colora- 

 do Desert plants, usual. y lef erred to th s 

 species, seem to me di tin t. This now 

 seems to me distirct Irom either E. W.s- 

 lizeni or E. cylindra es. 



Our colored portra.t fairly well re; re- 

 sents a young plant from Arizona, but 

 does not show the dis in-ju.sh.ng cha a - 

 tcristics. 



MAMMILLARIA DIOIOA K. Brandg. 



M. Goodridgii Enge'ma n (not Scheer"). 

 small globular species, close:y set with b.-own- 

 ish or white spines, the central one curved 

 into a hook. The delicate yellowish v.-hite 

 flowers are succeeded by the club-shaped, 

 scarlet berries that possess the flavor of wild- 

 wood strawberries, and are sometimes calleKi 

 "hep-pitallas," the "llavina" of the .Me.^icaiis.
