CANDLE PLANT — Mr. JolmGrummitt, 
Priory Bank House, Sheffield, speaks of this 
plant as follows in the .Journal of Jloriicullnrc : — 
••There is an entpiiry respecting this plant on 
page 370. The i)laiit inquired after is, in my 
opinion, Caralia articulota, which is succulent. 
The whole plant, stem, and leaves has the same 
glaucous hues us Kchcreria seniuda tjlauca when 
grown in heat. It is rare. I never hut once 
(some years ago) saw a ])lunt of it, and then, in a 
cottage window. It and Crassula imhrir.ata and 
Monanlhes polyphyUa are, I fear, lost in culti- 
vation; they would be valuable acquisitions to 
the collector and lover of curious or rare jilants 
at least they would be so to me. Loudon tells 
us the plant was introduced from the Cape, 
about 1775.” i'id.

shades of colour, greyish blue — in fact it has more

MESEMBRYANTHEMUM TIGRI- 
NUM — As the name denotes, it much resembles 
a tiger, first by being beautifully spotted; next, 
by each leaf having a row of hooked teeth on 
either side; and, as the plant always o])cns a 
couple of leaves at one time, as the leaves develo]) 
themselves, it has just tlie appearance of a 
bunch of tigers’ claws, (if/.
