PRAEGER—SOME ASIATIC SEDUMS. 85 
' cannot be detected in the dried plant. The stems, pedicels, back 
and edges of the sepals, and tips of the petals are finely and 
shortly papillose, a character which I have only once seen (Herb. 
Edinb.) on S. indicum, which is typically glabrous; it is quite 
different from the hairiness of var. yunnanense. ‘The erect stem 
~is unbranched save quite at the top, giving the inflorescence 
(which is about 1% inch long and 2 inches broad) an umbellate 
appearance (different from normal indicum). A few of the upper- 
most bracts remaining resemble the sepals, and are sessile, 
lanceolate and acuminate (those of indicum are usually stalked 
and oblanceolate or oblong). The flowers are yellow, much 
flushed with red, and are 6 mm. long—much longer than in 
typical indicum, but there is one plant in Herb. Edinb. with 
flowers as large. The long, straight, erect petals make the out- 
line of the flower oblong, different from the sub-orbicular shape 
given by the incurved petals of indicum. ‘The stem shows scars 
- of 20 to 30 leaves, the scars being crowded at the base as in in- 
dicum, but showing none of the thickening usually seen in in- 
dicum as the result of its first year rosette stage.
