than most of the genus: it has a thick 
fleshy stem, which rises to the height of 
two feet or more, and flowers in February 
and March. ; 
The whole plant is clothed with a kind 
of whitish woolly nap or down, which adds 
much to its singularity as well as beauty. 
The leaves are very thick and succulent : 
they have a warm aromatic taste. The 
plant should be constantly preserved in the 
stove: it is easily multiplied by cuttings, 
and should be potted in rich loam.
