MESEMBRYANTHEMUM BLANDUM. 
Class. Order. 
ICOSANDRIA  PENTAGYNIA. 
This elegant species was communicated 
to us by the kindness of our friend Mr. 
Haworth. In his Supplement he mentions 
it as having been collected in Africa, by Mr. 
Burchell. Our drawing was taken in the 
month of October, but during the twelve 
months that we have had the plant in our 
possession, we do not think it has been two 
months without flowers : these also conti- 
greater part of this large family. 
It is increased by cuttings without diffi 
culty, and needs only protection from frost 
in the greenhouse during the winter season, 
at which time it should not have too much 
water.
