Caraguata

By the latest monographer referred to Guz-mania, which see.

Caralluma

(aboriginal name). Asclepiadaceae. Low succulents, sometimes seen in collections; about 40 species, from S. Spain and Africa to Arabia and India. They resemble stapelias, and require similar treatment. The stems are leafless, somewhat branched, erect, 4-sided and the angles toothed: flowers near the summit of the stems, more or less clustered, purple, brown and yellow, and other colors; corolla rotate and 5-parted: fruit long and slender follicles. The carallumas are probably not in the American trade. Some of the names that may be expected in collections are C. adscendens, R. Br.; C. affinis, Wildem.; C. campanulata, N. E. Br. (Boucerosia campanulata, Wight); C. commutata, Berger (sometimes grown as C. Sprengeri); C. fimbri-ata, Wall.; C. inversa, N. E. Br.; C. Luntii, N. E. Br.;
