page 161 note * Alph. Da Candolle quotes Don, and in this he is followed by T. Anderson, and in .the Botanical Magazine, as referring this plant to the genus Pachypodium. But I cannot discover this. Don rightly enough writes of Adenium (or Adenuin) obesum, but in a note he says, “ See Pachypodium, p. 78, for culture and propagation,” and this may have originated the mistaken quotation.
