A coarse-looking species, resembling somewhat the bulbosa, but 

 much stouter and with the apical verrucae not elongated and finger- 

 like. It forms large clumps a foot or more in diameter, and eight 

 inches or so high. The Feejee specimens are more slender than those 

 from Singapore, but are otherwise similar.

This species, according to Ehrenberg, forms clumps eight inches in 

 breadth. It is stated to differ from his Hemprichii (the verrucosa), in 

 the stouter verrucse of the summits. In the specimen from the Fee- 

 jees, supposed to be referable to this species, the branches vary mostly
