Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1833 Excerpt: .evasura. Flores solitarii, mediocres, petalis luteis obovatis marginibus inflexis, staminibus albis in cylindrum ordinatis petalis brevioretn. A native of Chile, whence it was originally sent to this country, in 1824, by Mr. Nugent. It has also been brought home by Dr. Gillies, whose unpublished Cactus aurantiacus it appears to be. The plant from which our drawing was made, is a branched dark-green bush, consisting of joints 6 or 7 inches long and an inch or three quarters of an inch wide in the broadest part, nearly round at their base, but very perceptibly flattened towards the point. From each of the little tufts of hairs there proceed several spines, of which two or three are considerably larger than the rest. The flowers are of a clear bright yellow colour, about an inch and a half wide when expanded, with a column of white stamens in their centre. So called from having been found wild in the country of the Opuntii, a Grecian people. The treatment that this requires is the ordinary management of the dry stove. It is a very free grower, and less impatient of cold than many of the order; readily multiplied by its jointed branches. Every one knows that the spines of the Cacti are always difficult to extract when they have entered the skin. If the spines are magnified, it will be found that this property is owing to their being closely covered from the point downwards with numerous barbs, which have their cutting bases directed towards the base of the spine: in appearance they are very like the arrow-heads, with several rows of barbs, such as are used by certain Indian nations. The whole substance of this plant is extremely succulent, and the branches can scarcely be said to contain wood. It is, however, obvious, that all the internal parts are arranged up.<
