Kewensi, meo, &c. 
Corolla pale dull red, leaves ashen grey. The general appear- 
ance resembles that of E. patens, Andr., but the calyx is very 
different. It is also something like E. bicolor, Thunb., but 
differs in several characters. In some respects it approaches the 
section Ephebus, but here again the shape of the corolla is 
alien. 
EnicA ($ ArsacE) rnops, Bolus, n. sp.  Suffrutex erectus, 
ramosus, 2—3-pedalis. Rami adscendentes, glabrescentes, ramuli 
pubescenti-hirti ; folia 3na, lineares, dorso suleata, scabro- 
hispida, 4 millim. longa; flores subterni, numerosi, 3—4 millim. 
longi ; bractea unica, approximata, ovata, acuta, subamplexicaulis, 
colorata; sepala ovata, colorata; corolla globoso-campanulata, 
calyce parum longior, ore aperto, limbo tubo multo breviore; 
anthere incluse mutice, glabre; ovarium apice hispidulum; 
stigma peltatum. (Hz exempll. plur. exsicc. sub num. 3719.)

The sepals, corolla, and bract are whitish. Habit, leaves, and 
general appearance that of .E. hispidula, L., with which I expect 
it will be found mixed in many herbaria. But it is readily dis- 
tinguished by its single sheathing bract. E. unibracteata, Klotzsch, 
which I have not seen, must be a different plant, judging from 
the description, and, besides, comes from the extreme eastern 
districts. Our plant is not uncommon, and occurs both on the 
Table and Muizenberg Mts.
