ANACAMPSEROS arachnoides ; foliis ovatis acuminatis 
fubtus gibbis fupra planiufculis araneofis, 
ftipulis filamentofis folio brevioribus, 
pedunculis elongatis. 
~PORTULACA arachnoides ; foliis ovatis acuminatis difformi- 
bus viridibus lucidis arachnoideis, ra- 
cemo fimplici, pedunculis teretibus 
. elongatis. Haworth Mi/c, Nai. p. 142. 
This fpecies has the neareft affinity with Porturaca Aza- 
campferos Linn. but is a much f{maller plant; the leaves, 
efpecially about the lower part, are covered with a kind of 
web, and the woolly ftipules, common to the whole genus, are 
mixed with longer and more robuft threads than in that, 
though fhorter and finer than thofe of A. jilamento/a, in which 
they refemble in degree fine fhavings of horn, and are more 
than twice the length of the leaves. The flowers are white 
with a delicate tinge of purple. Mr. Haworrx obferves 
too that the feeds are much lefs winged than thofe of P. 
Anacampferos. eee : 
This author enumerates five fpecies under the fame fe&ion, 
all of which will be included under the genus AN ACAMPSEROs ; 
but as we have not yet had an opportunity of examining the 
whole, we fhall not undertake to determine whether they may 
all be fufficiently diftinét, but of the two {pecies here figured 
we think there can be no doubt. 
| Flowers at the fame time and requires the fame treatment as 
the preceding fpecies.
