TO SOUTH-AFRICAN BOTANY. 179 
Allied to E. Solandriana, Andr.; differs by its more globose 
corolla, shorter anthers, and very different anther-appendages. 
Under a lens the numerous hairs appear irregularly serrate, and 
shortly bifurcated at the apex; in a specimen of E. Solandriana 
which I examined at Kew the hairs were quite simple. 
EnrcA ($ PsEUDEREMIA) Coopzrı, Bolus, n. sp.  Fruticulus 
erectus, ramosus, 2-3-pedalis, ramis adscendentibus interdum 
flexuosis, pubescentibus. Folia 4na, lineari-lanceolata, margini- 
bus revolutis, pilis apice furcatis ciliato-hispido, 4-5 millim. longa; 
flores terminales, 4ni, cernui; pedicelli breves; bractes lineari- 
lanceolate, acuminate, approximate, cum sepalis linearibus pilis 
longissimis plumosis ciliate ; corolla ovato-urceolata limbo brevi 
erecto-patente, puberula, 5 millim. longa, sepalis æquilonga ; an- 
theræ inclusæ, oblongæ, cristatæ, cristis in aristam desinentibus ; 
ovarium oblongum, truncatum, hirsutum ; stylus inclusus, stig- 
mate capitato. (Ex exempll. exsicc. a Sutherland.) 
Hab. Ad rivulos, Natal, Cooper, No. 1101; Natal, sources of 
the Umvoti and Umgeni Rivers, 4000-5200 ft., July and August, 
Sutherland; Mid Illovo, April, Wood, 1890 ? 
[Also Natal, Buchanan, 87; Noodsberg, April, flowers white, 
Wood, 888; Orange Free State, Cooper, 2528 and 3531, in 
Herb. Kew, N. E. Brown.) 
The corolla appears to have been white or pale rose. Near to 
E. Baurii, but seems to be a stouter plant, and has a different 
corolla, anthers, aud ovary. .E. Solandriana, Andr., with a very 
similar corolla, has much more numerously flowered heads, 
shorter ovate bracts, different anthers, and simple hairs. In this 
species even the short hairs which clothe the branches are irre- 
gularly feathered, and those on the bracts and sepals are more 
compound than in E. Baurii. Mr. Cooper’s specimens have not 
fully developed flowers; I describe from Dr. Sutherland's, which 
seem otherwise identical. Wood’s No. 1890 appears to me to 
be the same species, but in his specimens also the flowers are 
undeveloped.
