Caralluma, R. Brown. Its Indian name. Linn. 5, 
Or. 2, Nat. Or. Asclepiadacece. This succulent 
genus of curious plamts is allied to Stapelia ; they 
vary in height from one to two feet. The best soil 
for them seems to be a mixture of loam and brick 
rubbish. The pots require to be well drained, and 
the plants cautiously watered, except about the 
time of flowering, when they ought to have a 
liberal supply. Cuttings root freely, if they are 
allowed to dry before planted, till they begin to 
shrivel.
