A very remarkable-looking plant, native of the Arabian de-
serts, and first noticed by Forskahl, in his
" Flora Agyptiaco-
Arabica.'
It was, prior to 1846, introduced, in a living state, to
the Horticultural Society's Garden, through the medium of the
Directors of the East India Company, from Aden.
Several
healthy plants were kindly sent to us also from Aden, by J.
