Anacampseros ustulata

caudex much branched from the base; branches tortuose, densely covered with whitish, globular, ovoid or cylindrical buds of closely imbricated scales (stipules); stipules broad, ovate-triangular, acute, lacerate at the margins, not bearded at the base, sphacelate and patent at the point, those of the involucre larger, quite entire; flowers equalling the involucre. 3–4 inches high. Caudex 3–4 lines in diameter; primary branches as thick as a goose-quill, about 1 inch long, dichotomously divided, branches shorter. Sterile stems budlike, mostly globular, 1–2 lines long; fertile ones 4–6 lines long, as thick as a pigeon's quill, sometimes with one or a few similar branches. Stipules very minute, closely adpressed, those of the fertile stems with a patent rusty-brown but white-margined apex. Involucre 1 line long, twice shorter than the 3-valved capsule.
