This curious plant was introduced in 

 1829, by the indefatigable Dr. Wallich, who 

 first published it in his Plantae Asiat. rarior. 

 He informs us that it delights in arid and 

 exposed situations. He found it among 

 the ruins at Pagamew, and on hills at Ye- 

 nangeun, among stones and fossils, not far 

 from the Petroleum wells, near the banks 

 of the Irawaddi, in the Burmese country. 



It is nearly allied to Stapelia. With us 

 it requires the stove, and will increase by 

 cuttings. The soil should be loam, with a 

 mixture of decayed morter. It flowers in 

 July.
