CRASSULA, Linn., sect. TILLAEOIDEAE, Schonl. 
applied to Or expansa, Ait., and as further his description does not 
tally altogether with the figure, the name is better altogether ignored, 
whether the plant came from South Africa, or, as the author states, 
from Australia. It may be a monstrous form of Or. glomerata, Linn. 
Little Namaqualand, Richtersveld, Doornpoort ravine, Pearson,

on the back and the ovaries are minutely ciliate on the inner margin) ;

Riversdale, Schlechter, 1979, Rust, 244; Humansdorp, Mrs G. R. Christie 
and Schlechter; Redhouse, Mrs T. V. Paterson, 324 (these specimens 
have obovate leaves only about 2 5 mm. long and contracted at the base); 
Redhouse, Mrs T. Y. Paterson, 425 ; Uitenhage, Z. 985 and E. and Z. 
1883; Grahamstown, Schonland, 412, MacOwan, 820; Port Alfred, 
Schonland, 1557 ; along the Kei River near Komgha, Flanagan, 1081; 
Windvogelberg, near Cathcart, T. R. Sim ; Queenstown, Galpin, 2556 ; 
near Durban, Natal Gov. Herb. 2810 ; Loreto Marques, Schlechter, 
11534. These last specimens of Schlechter may represent a distinct 
species. The stem is creeping or decumbent and rooting at the nodes. 
The leaves have the general outline of the type, but are longer and 
broader, and appear to have been thinner. The material at my disposal 
is not suitable for a full description. They should be compared with 
Gueinzius’ specimens from Natal referred to by Harvey (l.c. 364) which 
I have not seen. A similar form is found near the Victoria Falls (Rogers 
5058).
