Tab. 201.—1, leaf of basal rosette, natural size; 2, stem-leaf; 3, entire 
flower; 4, the same cut open: all magnitied.—J. G@. B. 
This is a very neat species, producing well-formed rosettes of 
leaves, and when in flower quite ornamental. It is much hardier 
than the species of the section Hcheveria, from the New World. 
The protection of a cool greenhouse suits it well in winter, 
during which season it requires but little water. It should be 
grown in a light sandy soil, in small well-drained pots. —
