I have grown this plant for many years, giving it cool green- 
house treatment. If allowed plenty of pot-room, or, if planted in 
the border, it soon grows rapidly, and eventually becomes a large 
rather compact shrub, very remarkable in appearance on account 
of its thick succulent vertical branches. I have never suc- 
ceeded in flowering the plant, and I am indebted to Mr. D. 
Hanbury for an opportunity of figuring it in the flowering state.
