(The Haldon plants brought to mind C. lutea, of Hudson; (C. umbilicus a, 
Linn.), said to have been found in the West Riding of Yorkshire, also in 
Somersetshire ; but without any particular station having been reported. 
If the representation in E. Bot. 1522, (from a garden specimen), be correct, 
the densely clustered and acuminate spike of flowers in C. lutea , is dissi¬ 
milar. E.)

* (The gigantic stature of this plant, and various others, especially of the succulent tribe, 
strongly evince the genial influence of the mild and humid atmosphere of South Devon on 
vegetation. The peculiar, and not inelegant, appearance of Cotyledon renders it a fit 
subject for rock-work. It may be readily propagated, especially on limestone, either by 
seed or cuttings of its branches. E.) 
•J* (Sometimes called White Rot, as Drosera rot undifolia is Red Rot, from a popular idea 
that feeding on these plants induces a disease called the Rot, in sheep : but the fact does not 
appear to have been proved. The like prejudice exists against other bog plants, but might, 
we apprehend, be more reasonably entertained against the bog itself, or certain noxious 
insects generated therein. E.)
