MR. P. MACOWAN ON NEW CAPE PLANTS. 391 
smaller flowers gathered into a twice-ternate cyme. This last 
plant is from the collections of the late J. H. M'Lea at the 
Macamae Goldfields. I have no hesitation in referring Eckl. & 
Zey. 2271 to this species. It is somewhat singular that Zeyher 
should have met with Bowkeria simpliciflora only in an almost 
leafless state, and with nothing but the dry persistent capsules to 
indicate its probable relations. 
BeRKHEYA DEBILIS, MacOwan, n. sp. (§ Stobæa.)—B. caule 
erecto, herbacea, debili, pubescente; foliis radicalibus subrosu- 
latis, membranaceis, supra viridibus, subtus tenuiter albo-tomen- 
tosis, ovato-oblongis, basi attenuatis, profunde pinnatifidis, lobis 
latis, oblongis, acutis, irregulariter sinuatis, ad angulos spinoso- 
mucronatis, interstitiis latiusculis, spinellosis; caulinis minori- 
bus, cordato-amplexicaulibus, haud decurrentibus, sinuaro-pinna- 
tifidis, lobis distantibus, adscendentibus, acutis, spinosis ; capitula 
e. 12.radiata ; squamis involucralibus longe triangularibus, basin 
versus spinulosis, pappus e squamis acutis, brevissimis; acheniis 
glabris.

Inflorescentia laxe corymbosa. Capitula 6 lin. lata. Folia 
radialia 12-18 poll. longa, 4—5 poll. lata; caulina 6-8 poll. longa, 
21-3 poll. lata. 
This must be near to Berkheya sonchifolia (Stobea, Harv., 
Fl. Cap. iii. p. 496), though differing by the glabrous achenes 
and acute pappus-scales, as well as by the deeply-cut ascending 
leaf-lobes. 
BERKHEYA CAFFRA, MacOwan, n. sp. ($ Stobæa.)—B. caule 
erecto, herbaceo, striato, sursum puberulo; foliis utrinque viri- 
dibus ; radicalibus oblongo-ovatis, basi attenuatis, sinuatis, supra 
minute puberulis, subtus (venis exceptis) nudis, margine spinel- 
losis ; caulinis ad basin in alas longissimas plus minus spinulosas 
produetis, pinnato-sinuatis, lobis rotundatis; capitulis paucis

emarginato vel breviter bifido, labio inferiore subgloboso inflato, margine ,
