ore third its length on, red , filiform, | M long. Anthers 



longish', attached to the basis, , • two^lobed. , ».gold-yellow. Fruit- 

 knot inverted ecr^-shaped R ,,f lor^r, calyx uniformly 7 1,1 long. 

 Pistil thick, 1 " long, 1| • 1 ' dm, light red, columnar (? E.D. ) . 

 Stigma long-parted, in 9 part s, green, surraounting the anthers • 



Besides a picture of the plant, fron which you can see the 

 color of the spine fornation I also enclose a seed capsule. The 

 sections arise fron the lower part of the baslc stem (this/is a 

 guess,E.D. ) and turn in short sections upward. In this structure», 

 the plant is considerably dif^e^ent ^ron IL. Berl^d ieri , where the 

 base trunk lies horizortally on the ground a^d the younp-er ^fetlons 

 rise alrnost vertioally upward. . 



2) Bc.Poselgerianus Linze. You will notice readily the diffe- 

 re^ce between this and the E. pillosus (why two W LL M E.D.T). Parther 

 distanced areoles, thinner, light-green, almost stick-like sections 

 (Jacobi oalls them "nenhe^s" E.D«) and signif icantly lower htomps. 

 The sections reach a length of 9 - 10 1 . The structure of the plant 

 is in ^eneral very sinilar to E. papillosus. The plant has not yet 



f lower ed. . 



3) the Cereus, mentioned on the first page, which I wanted to 

 name jtenuis. You will recognize on first viewing the dif f erence be- 

 tween it and E« procumbens. It has not yet flowered.. 



^ E« Salmianus Scheer Received by prirce Salm f^ora Scheer. 

 Flowers soon and amply. The flowers arise fron the lower parts of 

 the sections. Funnel-f orm 3 11 tube. Bud lh - 2 11 dm beautiful cinneu- 

 bar red. Flowers for several days. At 9 in the morning the f lower 

 closes somewhat and does not unfold acrain until 5 P.m. and renains 

 open dnrinp 1 the nichts. A nost interesting plant for this reason.
