SCARLET-FLOWERED CRASSULA. 
Lat: Crassida Coccinea. 
Cl: PENTANDRIA. 
Ord: PENTAGYNIA. 
The richness of the colour, and the superb 
appearance of this plant, make it much es- 
teemed in a Green-house collection. 
It generally flowers in June, July, and Au- 
gust, also, sometimes, in the spring. 
It is propagated by cuttings of the stalks 
and branches; it succeeds best in a sandy 
compost; it should be very seldom watered 
in the winter, and about twice a week in the 
summer. 
This plant requires being sheltered from 
the sun.
