need particular description here. Its leaves are 
resupinate and very fleshy ; its flower remarkable 
by the high shoulders of its sepals, which are ob- 
liquely cross-nerved. This plant will live out of 
doors against the front of a green-house, having 
some saw-dust heaped upon it in winter. It re- 
quires an airy situation, if sheltered under glass.
