flower he recognized as beiug Of the tribe Of
lew rare dlants possessed By eeveral European
.apan+, ana Of which flowers Baron Humboldt
had some two or three specimens.
The one owned By Dr.. Deck, is, in appear
atnce, flat, round, brown substance, resemb-
ling large wooden button, OF the cup Of q

most delicate purple color, and forming By its

that Nsture designed for the dry sands Of tho
great desert; taat this flower is the pod or seed

dry bulb wonid drift about ia the arid sands
any length Of time without expanding, but that
whenever it reached an oasis, where there Was
moisture and soil to sustain the plant, it would
unfold itself, deposit its seed, which in turn
would germinate, and thus produce the death
