breviores. Pedicelli inferiores 1" long. Calycis tubus hemispheericus, 
lobis anguste lanceolato-subulatis, integerrimis, corollam trieute bre- 
vioribus. Corolla lobis anguste ligulatis tubum equantibus. Stami- 
num tubus fere rectus, pubescens ; antheris pilosis vix barbatis. 
Closely allied to Lobelia nicotianefolia of India. There are two Abys- 
sinian allies, but no described South African, Mauritian or Madagascar. 
2. WAHLENBERGIA POLYCLADA, H.f. Hispido-pilosa, superne gla- 
bra, caulibus e collo numerosissimis basi decumbentibus demum erectis 
apice dichotome ramosis floriferis, foliis (parvis) sessilibus oblongo- v. 
ovato-lanceolatis aeutis integerrimis undulatis, floribus parvis, calyce 
longe obconico, corolla brevissima capsula biloculari. 
Hab. Clarence Peak, ad declivum orientem alt. 9000 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba radice gracili. Caules spithamei ad pedalem, inferne et folia 
pilis hispidulis subcrispatis laxiuscule vestiti, superne divisi, gla- 
berrimi gracillimi. Folia }’-}” long., basi obtusa v. subcordata, mar- 
gine lente recurva. Flores 1"long.; calycis tubus anguste obconicus, 
lobis breviusculis, triangulari-lanceolatis. Corolla parva, csrulea, 
calycis lobos vix superans, an perfecta? 
Not unlike W. gracilis, a very widely diffused Australian, Indian, &c. 
species, and of the same habit. 
3. WAHLENBERGIA ARGUTA, H.f. Glabra, caulibus gracillimis elon- 
gatis ascendentibus, apice pedunculos elongatos dichotome ramosos 
gerentibus, foliis sessilibus lanceolatis. acuminatis argute serratis, 
floribus mediocribus, calyce brevissime obconico, corolla campanulata, 
capsula semisupera 3-loculari. 
Hab. In Clarence Peak, alt. 8500 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba gracillima, caulibus flexuosis pedalibus parce vage ramosis. Folia 
3-2" Jong., basi angustata, marginibus tenuiter recurvis. Pedunculi 
3-4-pollicares, superne dichotome divisi, ad axillas braecteati, bracteis 
subulatis. Flores 1"—1" longi, suberecti. Calycis tubus brevissimus, 
lobis triangulari-lanceolatis, corolla pallide ezrulea multoties breviori- 
bus. Capsula trapezoidea semisupera. 
The habit of this species is that of the St. Helena W. angustifolia, ADC, 
to which it is nearly allied, though the capsula is 3-celled.

1. LEUCOTHOE ANGUSTIFOLIA, var. 8. pyrifolia, DC. Prodr. i. 603. 
Hab. In Clarence Peak, alt. 8500 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Arbor 15-20-pedalis, corolla rufo-ferruginea. 
Apparently identical with the plant of Mauritius and Bourbon ; it also 
inhabits Madagascar. The flower and fruit vary a good deal in size. 
2. Bleria spicata, Hochst. ; A. Rich. Flor. Abyss. ii. 13. 
Hab. In cacumine Clarence Peak, alt. 10,700 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Fruticulus pedalis. 
This is identical with the Abyssinian plant. The genus was previously 
supposed to be confined to South Africa and Abyssinia,
