MISCELLANEOUS PLANTS.

stems, from 2 to 4 in number, rise from tbe cen- 

 tre of the plant to a height of 4 to 6 feet; as many

 Flowers are thick, fleshy and waxlike, white and 

 nearly star-shaped. The leaves rarely attain a height 

 of more than 2 feet and are of a bluish-green color ;

 resembles somewhat.
