PRAEGER—SomME ASIATIC SEDUMS. 73 
forms in which the caudex-leaves have not degenerated into scales, 
as in the better known members of the section. It is thus allied 
to SS. Praegerianum, W. W. Sm., M osstt, Hamet, Levii, Hamet, 
Karpelesae, Hamet, Hobsonii, Hamet, Durisii, Hamet, Balfouri, 
amet, primuloides, Franch., pachyclados, Aitch. and Hemsl., 
and Leveilleanum, Hamet, but is easily distinguished from all 
of these. Thus, pachyclados and primuloides have slender el- 
ongate branched caudices (not very short, thick, simple) ; pachy- 
clados, primuloides, Karpelesae, Levit and Durisii have caudex- 
leaves with a very broad (not linear-rhomboid) lamina, and in the 
last-named the leaves are pilose (not glabrous) ; Karpelesae has 
stem-leaves subverticillate (not alternate); Balfouri and Mossii 
are much taller plants with flower-stems respectively 30 and rocm. 
(not 2.5 cm.) long, and in the former the leaves are ciliate ; Hob- 
sonit has ovate-oblong (not linear-rhomboid) caudex-leaves, and 
it and Levii have ovate (not linear-lanceolate) stem-leaves ; 
Leveilleanum has broader cuspidate (not subacute) caudex-leaves 
and many erect (not few horizontal) flower-stems ; Praegerianum 
is a plant 3-4 times as large with caudex bare of old leaves and 
very erect red petals. §. Barnesianum resembles Leveilleanum 
and Levit in its dense external ring of dead leaves, but in the 
former the whole leaf (not merely the petiole) is persistent, and 
in the latter the deciduous lamina is ovate (not linear-rhomboid). 
It resembles Karpelesae and Levii in its solitary flowers, all the 
other members of the group having several or many flowers on 
each stem. It resembles Praegerianum in habit, especially in its 
horizontal flower-stems. 
The species is dedicated to Miss Eileen Barnes, to whose in- 
dustry and skill I owe drawings of nearly two hundred species of 
Sedum.
