Succulent plants with opposite or alternate fleshy leaves. Mostly Eastern. C. veiitricosa, Burm. (C'Nenta) is poisonous to cattle (L. H. Walsh). Its flowers are greenish. Kalanchoe.âCalyx 4-parted. Corolla with an urn-shaped tube and spreading limb; yellow, turning to red. Flowers in closely-branched cymes or loose panicles. Succulent half- shrubs with opposite leaves. Eastern. Bryophyllum differs from Kalanchoe in the inflated calyx. B. proliferum, Bowe, has both simple and compound leaves on the same plant. B. tubiflorum,, Harv., shows the lower pinnate of the first leaves of a branch reduced so that the leaves appear simple. The name means " sprouting leaf". The fleshy leaves fall to the ground, and young plants sprout from the notched edges. These send out roots, and finally the entire plant takes root. See Fig. no, p. 122. Vegetative reproduction is quite frequent in the order. Order BruniacE/E. This order of nine genera and forty-four species is peculiar to South Africa. It is confined chiefly to the South.^\'estern Cape Province. One of the two species ot Tham)iea extends to Grahams- town and one species of Berardia reaches to Natal. They are heath-like shrubs, with flowers in dense globose or flattened heads or spikes or solitary. The flowers are perfect, usually regular, five parted, perigynous, protandrous. Stamens in one whorl, anthers arrow- or heart-shaped. Carpels (3-2), each with three to four ovules, or one, with one o\ule. The carpels. Fig. 'tnnJ' 278. âFlorol diag â am of.
