Caralluma, R. Brovm. Its Indian name. 

 Linn. 5, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Asclepiadacece. This 

 succulent genus of curious plants is allied to 

 StapUia ; they vary in height from one to two 

 feet. The best soil for them seems to be a 

 mixture of loam and brick rubbish. The pots 

 require to be well drained, and the plants 

 cautiously watered, except about the time of 

 flowering, when they ought to have a liberal 

 supply. Cuttings root freely, if they are 

 allowed to dry until they begin to shrivel be- 

 fore being planted.
