‘‘Suc¢ulent small white, among moss, etc.’? R. E. Cooper, No. 
oO. 
A very peculiar little plant, of which further material would 
be desirable; it is difficult to point to any species to which it has 
affinities. To judge from the number of leaf-scars the short 
barren shoot lasts for more than one year before lengthening into 
a flowering shoot with its single verticel of unequal leaves. It 
comes nearest to S. Stapfii, Hamet, which is figured from the 
type for comparison (Plate clxxiv, 3). 
S. purpureoviride, Praeger. 
This species is well represented in the Edinburgh Herbarium.

Note :—A plant at Kew and the British Museum collected by 
A. E. Pratt in West Szechuan (No. 547) is a vigorous form ot 
this species with leaves much broader and more oblong than in 
type and (especially the British Museum specimens) resembling 
S. Fabaria in shape and dentition of leaves. 
S. Rendlei, Hamet. 
Described (‘‘Kew Bulletin,’ 1913, 157) as having caudex 
creeping, suberect at the apex; stems glabrous, petals very 
broadly linear. The type is at the British Museum, and a co- 
type at Kew. In these the pedicels and upper part of the stem
