Hob. Base of Table Mountain, near Cape Town. 



A small species nearly allied to the L. TieteropTiylla of Europe, 

 and strongly exhaling the same aromatic odour. The perianth is 

 terminal, of an ovate outline, the angles alate for about half their 

 length, the alse being obtuse and but little dentate, the three lips 

 at 'the apex obtuse and shortly dentate. The involucral leaves 

 ovate, bidentate at their apices, with a few short teeth at their 

 margins on both sides, combined at their bases with the obovate 

 stipule, which at its apex is shortly toothed. As the leaves ap- 

 proach the perianth they become gradually more and more dis- 

 tinctly bidentate. Fertile specimens were gathered by
