It is said to be found farther north than any other Echinocactna, in Colorado at an elevation of 8500 feet, or still higher in more southern districts. The tubercles are loosely arranged, half to three-quarters of an inch long, with several white spread- ing spines and a central yellowish one. The flowers are purple or rose, rather small but numerous on the upper part of the stem. The plant is dwarf, rarely exceeding 6 or 8 inches high, and usually much less, and was introduced by Messrs. Backhouse several years ago. E. TiSNAGA, 27oo7je)- (the Toothpick Cactus).—Not only is this the most remarkable in its own family, but in some respects it is also one of the most peculiar in the whole vegetable world. Quite a sensation was created when in 1846 this extraordinary plant was first described by Sir "William Hooker, in the Illustrated London News, and the particulars were published of the enormous weight and size which this species attains in its Mexican home. To 3?. Staines, Esq., of San Luis Potosi, is due the honour of introducing the first specimens to this country, which, however, was only effected after much labour and repeated trials, as the plants had to be conveyed many hundreds of miles across a most difficult country, with very rough roads, or in some parts none at all, and the only vehicles that could be employed were large waggons drawn by mules or oxen. The plants grow in deep ravines of the loftiest mountains of the district amongst large stones and rooks, with very little soil; but there they reach an enormous size, and being very slow in growth it is reasonably supposed that some of the largest must be several hundred years old. The finest specimen yet sent to this country was 9 feet high, 9^ feet in circumference, and weighed 1 ton; but it died after it had been at Kew about a year. Smaller but still won- derful examples were su
