STAPELIA BUFONIS. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA DIGYNIA. 
The curious plant which is now before us 
flowers in the latter part of pe summer. 
The blossoms are extremely interesting: 
their interior surface is wholly S with 
wrinkled protuberances, which together with 
its livid colour, have occasioned it to be 
named, as resembling a toad. 
It is a native of the arid deserts of South 
Africa, and was introduced about the year 
1800. 1t is very easily increased by cut- 
tings : in winter it should be kept dry, and 
moderately warm, pui may be potted in 
wt poor soil
