46. CANDLE PLANT--Mr. John Grummitt, 
Priory Bank House, Sheffield, speaks of this 
plant as follows iirthe JounrnZ of horticulture : — 
“There is an enquiry respecting this plant on 
page 370. The plant inquired after is, irr my 
opinioit, Cacalia articulata, which is .srrcculent. 
The whole plarrt, stem, and leaves, has the same 
glaucous hues as Echeveria secunda (ilanca when 
grown in heat. It is rare, i rrever but once 
(some years ago) saw a plant of it, and then, in a 
cottage window. It and Crasmla itnhricata and 
Monanthes polyphylla arc, 1 fear, lost in culti- 
vation ; they would be valuable acquisitions to 
the collector and lover of curious or rare plants — 
at least they would be so to nre. Loudon tells us 
the plant rvas introduced from the Cape, about 
1775.” Is. each

fine variety. Is. each. 
50. KLEINIA REPENS — Has very pecrrliar

teeth on cither side ; its the plant always opens a 
couple of leaves at otre tirrre, arrd as the plant and 
leaves develop themselve.s, it has just the appear- 
.arree of a tiger’s mouth. 3s. each
