Among a number of drawings which I have made of varieties
of this species, the two now represented in the Plate are
the most curious. They are, perhaps, strictly speaking, rather
states of the plant than varieties; and seem to be produced
pretty uniformly under particular circumstances of situation or
injury.
The first variety is marked by a number of short stems and
branches, bearing numerous little knobs or processes, and crowded
into a dense rounded mass.
The second variety is distinguished by the stems being
short, greatly enlarged, and terminated by a fringe of subulate
processes.
