5) E c. spec. received fron von Haage as E c.castaneus . rela - 



ted to the previous one but specifically different 4 . Unf ortunately I 



distinctly 



did not see the f Towers last summ er, but the bud s were already\dif- 

 ferent in shape and color». 



6) E c, Scheer ii Salm Comes also via Dyer from Soheer. The two 

 previous ones also related, but rauch lonprer sections, is very light- 

 ^reen q^d with softer ^lesh than the other previous ones. Tube 3-4 fl 

 long, also beautifully red but a little lighter». 



7) Ec. grlycimor phus Ge^re a relative of pauci spinus , but suffi- 

 ciently different fron this; has not yet flowered... 



8) Ec . conccloneratus F&rst from Baumann in Vienna. A snaller form 

 of the same species I received from Genre as Ec. stramineus, which 1 is 

 wrong« • 



9) Ec. rmlchercus Poerst a very close form of this and probably 

 only a variety I received from Genre as E c . Salm -dyexianus.. 



10) Ecr. acifer & brevi spinflgus Nob. More about it in the 

 Berlin Garden newspaper by Otto. Year 1854 No.l4. Both had been re- 

 ceived by the Main Customs Office Schaf er in. Munster se- 



veral years back from northern Mexico. Despite the fact that my sne- 

 cimen is a very ström one, it has never floweredrl, I doubt however 

 the correctness of my opinion expressed in 1854, that it is a pale 

 variety of Ec . acifer. I believe, that it is a true species.. 



11 ^ S c. pleio^onus Lab, has not yet flowered. 



12) _£_. nov. spec. I received this interesting plant from the n-ar- 

 de^ of Oliva in Danzig. It does not exist in any other collection 

 known to nie* and, unf ortunately, I have not been able to develop^ 

 anything about its origin«. It is distinguished through a reversedr 

 club-shaped ; , or, may-be, elipsoidal nointed form of its sections 

 and through the^ong, transparent, white, flexible and adpressed 5 

 spines,lying in all directions, ^rom all others belonging to the
