SUCCULENT PLANTS are so character- 

 ized on account of their thick juicy 

 leaves. They are formed to exist, says 

 Mr. Fortune, in countries and situations 

 where they are often exposed to in- 

 tense light and dryness ; their skins are 

 thick ; they have few evaporating pores ; 

 and they have, likewise, few roots to gorge 

 their tissue with food duiing the rainy 

 season. Therefore, we find the dry, 

 sandy plains of the Cape abounding in 

 aloes and mesembryantrwmums ; and the 

 bare volcanic rocks of Mount Etna cover- 

 ed, in many places, with the common 

 prickly pear. In Mexico, also, and in 

 many other parts of Central and South 

 America, the extensive race of cacit^with 

 their curious un-vegetable-like forms, are 

 at home, and flourish even in those dry 

 and parched seasons when the whole face 

 of nature besides seems withered and 

 destroyed. The natural circumstances 

 in which these plants are found are sure 

 and certain guides in cultivation. 



SUCKERS are branches naturally thrown 

 up by a plant from its base, when the on- 

 ward current of growth of the stem is 

 stopped. 



SUFFOCATION is a term employed by 

 Keith and others to describe any stop- 

 ping of the transpiratory organs of plants, 

 whether it arises from extravasated sap, 

 mosses, fungi, or from a deficient supply 

 of sap.
