174 MR. H. BOLUS’S CONTRIBUTIONS 
subincurva, obtusa, equilonga; ale breviores, basi dentatz ; ova- 
rium subrectum, glabrum, cum stylo (parte inferiore) secus 
suturam ventralem barbatum. (Hx exempll. exsicc. plur., Mac- 
Lea, No. 5620.) 
Hab. In planitiebus, prope Pretoria, Reipublice Transvaal, alt. 
circa 1250 metr., legit J. H. MacLea, herb. Bolus, No. 5620. 
In “Orange Free State," Cooper, No. 862; Natal, Gerrard 
1068. [Also, “ In deep rich valley, Limpopo sources," Nelson, 
268 ; Olivers Hoek Pass, Wood 3542, in herb. Kew.] 
This belongs to the section Lipozygis, and comes nearest to 
L. lanceolata, Benth., than which it is more hairy, with twice 
larger flowers &c. I describe from MacLea’s specimens. Cooper’s 
are less luxuriant ; his ticket describes the flowers as yellow. 
[The specimens at Kew, collected by Cooper, MacLea, and 
Nelson, are 5-6 inches high; those collected by Gerrard are 
about a foot high.—JN. E. Brown.]

dichotomi divaricati, spinis tenuibus 1-2 cm. longis; stipule 
subulate recurve, 1-1'5 millim. longs»; petioli 3-5 millim. longi ; 
folia subpauca, trifoliolata, superne glabra, subtus sericea; foliola

Hab. In arenosis circa Kimberley, Griqualand West, alt. 
1250 metr., flor. Nov., Bolus, No. 6802; Dr. Marloth in Herb. 
Norm. Austr-Afr. No. 408! Prope flum. Vaal, Nov. (1811), 
Burchell, 1782! (fide N. E. Brown). 
This comes near to C. spinosa, Hochst., but Mr. N. E. Brown 
informs me that it “ differs in habit, by its larger flowers, and 
globose pod," to which may be added that the pod is distinctly 
statked and has fewer seeds; I opened six and found them to 
contain from two to four. It is tolerably abundant about Kim-
