Opuntia ursina iS a name given by Albert Weber to a curious and beauti- ful plant of the Mohave desert, adver- tised as the Grizzly Bear cactus. The joints are about 3 by 5 inches, densely covered with slender flexuous_ ivory white spines, the longest over 6 inches long, and completely hiding the plant. A cutting reminds one of the “Old Man’ cactus of Mexico, but this be- longs among the prickly pears—form- ing low wide spreading masses of in- terlacing snow white spines. OPUNTIA VULGARIS Mill. OPUNTIA WHIPPLEI HE. & B. Genns PHELECYPHORA Ehreub. PELECYPHORA ASHILLIFORMIS Ehrenb. The Hatchet cactus is a little gem from Mexico, so-called from the shape of the tubercles. It bloomed in San Diego on May day, scarce % inch in length and breadth, with thirteen bright magenta colored petals and seven or eight pale lavendar sepals, the four stigmata white, style and fila- ments tinged with purple, and anthers bright orange. The iargest plant among a hundred is but little over an inch in height and diameter, and in earlier days they were literally worth their weight in gold. The flowers are open only in sunlight.

The King cactus was taken fi'o.n Mexico to England prior to 1829 ky George Ackermann, and bears the most gorgeous flowers, 6 to 8 inches in di- ameter, the acuiely pointed, wavy pet- als of a deep brilliant crimson, bor- dered at the base with bright mag- eta, the interior decorated with a niass of white filaments and antlers, the li stigmata and style also white. he plant blooms freely and may be seen in many San Diego gardens.

PHYLLOCACTUS;) KAMPMANNI Hort. Kampmann’s Case-knife cactus is a less robust plant than the King cactus, he and the flowers are oniy about 3 inches in diameter, the petals broader in pro- portion, of a bright, but lighter, crim- son. Filaments white, antlers canary yellow. This is a general favorite in Fan. Diego gardens ,also, producing i's levely flowers in the greatest profusion. QUEEN CACTUS. PHYLLOCACTUS LATI#MRONS ! The Queen cactus iS quite the siant among the Fhyllocacii, the stout tened stems 4 to 5 inches broad, deeply crenated and commonly 8-to 10 feet high. The flowers are 7 to 8 inches long, about 6 inches in diameter, the pe:ais of a delicate, clear, creamy white, the sepals and tube of a reddish hue. Na- tive of Mexico.

It is widely distributed from British Columbia to Mexico and east- ward to the Atlantic, but I have not personaly known of its use above stat- -ed,. the ““Golondrina’’ (a species of Hu- phorbia) possessing the same desir- able reputation throughout the sec- tion where I have collected. «-Y 32 D. carota L daz Genus SANECULA TYTournefort.
