This very remarkable species of Huphorbia, nearly allied to 
the well-known Caput-Meduse, was sent to me from South Africa 
by Mr. T. Cooper. Like the other species of this peculiar group 
of Huphorbia, it requires to be grown in a mixture of sandy peat 
and loam in well-drained pots. It should have the protection of 
a warm light greenhouse, where it should be placed near the 
light, and only very moderately watered during the winter. —
