Aizoaceae. Flv adv fr Salv et Andr& Puerto. Hert with taproot small enough to suggest annual. Many stems (about 6 in long from base) give very brushy effect to well developed plants. Plant glabrous, grey-green, freely covered (in some lights glistening) with white hairs suggesting some Mesembri- anthemum. Lvs opp, oblong, entire, sessile, partly classing, [illegible] very blunt at apex. Only mid- nerve shows plainly but but there seem to be a few obscure lateral nerves. Largest lvs in middle at 4 x 10 mm and perhaps slightly wider at base. On some stems a few flower lvs alt, slight- ly narrowing towards base edges slightly de-current or so. Stipules none. Flo sessile on axils of the bifurcating branches. Calyx tube thick short (ie 2-3mm) & perhaps united with ovary at base. Calyx lobes 5-equal, narrow lanceolate, about 7-10 mm long, blistery scurfy outside like lvs. white v smooth inside, not occurrso on edge thick (like lvs) and perhaps a trifle thickened v hooded at tip but not conspicuously so. Petals none. Ovary almost if not quite free, same texture as calyx, as how as highly distinctly 5-lobed, with 5 sessile linear stigmas (1-2
