3-3°5 cm. longs paniculate subspicate, pedunculis brevibus 
crassis pubescentibus, bracteis obovatis acuminatis subconnatis, 
bracteolis lanceolatis marginibus ciliatis ; flores pedicellati pedi- 
cellis 4 mm. longis; sepala sublibera lanceolata obtusiuscula 
dorso carinata extus pubescentia 3 mm. longa marginibus ciliatis ; 
petala alba (P) sublibera obovato-lanceolata apice dorso mucro- 
nulata, 4-5 mm. longa; filamenta filiformia apice attenuata, 
antheris ovatis ; ovaria oblique ovata, stylis brevissimis, squamis 
minutis apice emarginatis. 
Described from three dried specimens in Herb. Albany 
Museum ; also in Herb. E. E. Galpiu and Herb. Kew. 
Hab. “Stony ground, summit of Saddleback mountain near 
Barberton," alt. 5000-5300 ped. Leg. E. E. Galpin (no. 1092), 
Sept.-Oct. 1890. 
This species must be referred to Harvey's sect. “Marginales,” 
amongst which, however, it stands quite by itself. It is nearly 
allied to a species collected by Mr. J. M. Wood at Inanda in 
May 1880, and forming his number 551; and on examining 
more material they may prove to be identical. Wood states that 
the colour of the flowers is yellow, which may also be the case 
with Galpin's plants; but in Wood's specimens which are 
preserved in the Cape Government Herbarium the stem is elon- 
gated, and the leaves consequently further apart than in Galpin's 
specimens; in the former the leaves are, moreover, ovate aud 
distinetly acuminate, and the peduncles inueh thinner and sub- 
glabrous. These differences may perhaps be due to climatic 
causes.
