_L. tricolor_ grows in the sandy parts of the Cape Province, but lends itself to cultivation in pots. It has been successfully grown at Irene, near Pretoria, by Dr. I. B. Pole Evans, C.M.G., from bulbs supplied by Lady Smartt of “Glen Ban,” Stellenbosch, C.P., and from these specimens our illustration was made. In the young flowering stage the buds are quite green, but become yellow in the lower half as they grow older, while in the adult flower the colour is a deep chrome (R. C. S.). DESCRIPTION:--_Bulb_ globose, 1·3 cm. in diameter, with long white roots from the base. _Leaves_ 2, up to 17 cm. long, 2·5 cm. broad at the base, 2 cm. broad above, strap-shaped, obtuse, glabrous. _Peduncle_ up to 16 cm. long, terete, green, spotted with brown. _Flowers_ racemose, pendulous, each flower arising from a small pocket formed by the bract. _Bract_ 3 mm. long, ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, with a conical blunt spur. _Outer perianth-segments_ 1·6 cm. long, oblong, obtuse, one slightly beaked below the apex; inner segments 2·6 cm. long, widened upwards, obtuse. Stamens hardly exerted. _Style_ as long as the stamens, penicillate at the apex. (National Herb. Pretoria, No. 2857.) * * * * * PLATE 166.--Fig. 1, whole plant much reduced; Fig. 2, median longitudinal section of the flower; Fig. 3, bulb; Fig. 4, part of peduncle showing pocket-like bracts; Fig. 5, stamen; Fig. 6, upper portion of style showing stigma.

Plant._ vol. i. p. 657. * * * * * =Crassula rosularis=, _Harv._; _Fl. Cap._ vol. ii. p. 350. * * * * * _Crassula rosularis_ belongs to the section _Rosulares_, which is characterised by having rosulate flat radical leaves and a scape-like flowering stem. Unlike so many species of _Crassula_, it is a shade-loving plant. The plant from which our illustration was made was found growing under Aloes near Greytown in Natal, whence it extends southwards to Uitenhage. It is a dainty little plant, and would thrive on a shaded rockery if supplied with humus and a fair amount of moisture. In its choice of habitat it resembles very much _C. flabellifolia_, _C. Saxifraga_ and _C. Septas_. We are indebted to Lady Leuchars for the specimens.
