S. erosus, Linn. f. In the var. B the leaves are almost as glandular 
as those of S. concolor, DC.

This plant will probably be found in other collections than 
those cited, mixed with 2. triphylla, Harv. Indeed, in the Cape 
Government Herbarium is a specimen collected in Kafirland 
by the Rev. J. Brownlee, marked B. triphylla by Harvey him- 
self. Ihave not received the 3-flowered, true B. triphylla of 
"Thesaurus Capensis, pl. 37, from any recent collector except 
Mr. Baur, who sent several flowering twigs mixed with B. sim- 
pliciflora. There is a regular gradation in the inflorescence of : 
the three species known to me. The one now described has the 
largest flowers and simple peduncles; B. triphylla comes next, 
with a 3-flowered eyme; while B. cymosa, MacOwan ® has much
