[Wood, No. 693, from Inanda, Natal, Oct., in herb. Kew, 
appears to be the short-stamened state of this plant.—JN. .E. B.] 
The corolla is described by Mr. Wood as white, and is of a 
delicate, thin texture. The habit of the plant is that of E. Alo- 
pecurus, Harv., next to which I should place it, for though the 
glabrous corolla is very unusual in this section, I cannot find a 
better place. 
Erica ($ OROPHANES ?) TRICHADENIA, Bolue, n. sp. Suffrutex 
erectus, ramosus, scaber, 2-3-pedalis; ramis glabrescentibus,

squarrosa, 5-7 millim. longa; flores umbellati, umbellis 5-7- 
floris, pedicellis 4-5 millim. longis, basi bractea solitaria donatis ; 
sepala herbacea lineari-lanceolata, pubescentia, glanduloso- 
ciliata; corolla oblongo-campanulata, sicca, limbo erecto-patente, 
sub lente minutissime puberula, 3-5 millim. longa, calyce duplo 
longior; anthers subterminales, incluse, aristate ; ovarium sub-

The flowers are a light flesh-colour. The habit and leaves are 
very similar to those of E. strigosa, Sol, but it is distinguished 
in the section by its ternate leaves, and rather long, and long- 
stalked, flowers, The anthers are nearly if not quite terminal ; 
and if it were not that this is the case with several species other- 
wise united with very diverse groups, the present plant might go
