20 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
Flowers pendulous in a small somewhat corymbose cyme. Corolla 
stamens, and carpels of various shades of cream-yellow, greenish 
towards the basin; last year a reddish tinge was also observed. 
Allied to C. coruscans Haworth (= C. canalifolia Haworth), but 
this species has larger flowers and a more copiously flowered 
inflorescence, and the corolla-lobes are narrower. Also allied to 
C. ungulata Lamarck. 
C. canaticutata Haworth, Suppl. p. 22 (1819). There are no 
specimens of this species in the Oxford Herbarium, and it is not 
mentioned by Harvey. The following is Haworth’s original descrip- 
tion :—‘‘C. (slender, channel-leaved) foliis linearibus semiteretibus 
alte canaliculatis, caudice erecto subramoso deorsum incrassato, 
tuberculatim subpapillari e vestigiis persistentibus foliorum. Vigebat 
in regio horto Kewensi a.p. 1818. Folia viridia collecta subtermi- 
nalia ut in affinibus, at solum sesquilineam uniformiter lata, et 
2-8-lineas longa, a basi ad apicem profundissime concinnique 
canaliculata.”’ 
In the Index Kewensis this plant is referred to C. ungulata Lam., 
which, as far as we can judge from the above description, is 
probably correct. 
C. srurta L. Sp. Pl. ed. ii. p. 614 (1762); Burm. Prod. Fi. 
Cap. i. p. 18 (1768). The following is the Linnean diagnosis and 
synonymy :— 
Cotyledon foliis alternis spatulatis carnosis integerrimis. 
Cotyledon africana frutescens, folio longo & angusto, flore 
flavescente. Comm. Pl. Rar. 23, t. 28; Burm. Dec. i, 16;:28 
above, as indicated elsewhere. Comm. Pl. Rar. page 28, t. 28, 
seems to us identical with the plant figured in Pl. Grasses, tab. 168, 
as C. ungulata, and we think the name (. spuria ought to be borne 
by this plant, excluding the other plates quoted.
