Described from two living plants received from Mr. E. E. 
Galpin. 
Hab. “Andriesberg, near Queenstown,” alt. 6600-6700 ped. 
Leg. E. E. Galpin (no. 2002), Feb. 23rd, 1896. “In rupestribus, 
Bariga trans. fl. Bashee,” alt. 2400 ped. Leg. Baur (no. 629 in

` This species is nearly allied to C. fruticulosa (L. ?), Haw. ; but 
it is distinguished by its shorter and flat leaves, its nearly sessile 
` inflorescences, and its comparatively longer sepals. The older 
branches have a very characteristic loose appearance ; hence I 
have called the plant C. /éxa, although this character is not 
always apparent in dried specimens; in young branches, how- 
ever, the leaves are closely imbricated, and remind one of 
C. ericoides, Haw. In fact this plant forms a very striking con- 
nexion between Harvey's section * Subulares" and “Imbricate.” 
As regards the colour of the flower, the sepals are green with 
rosy tips, the petals and filaments creamy white, the anthers are 
reddish brown, the pollen pale yellow, the nectar-glands green 
below and rosy above.
