220 DIU M. T. MASTERS ON SOUTU-AFBICAN RESTIACE^. 



second edition of Lindley's ^Natural System of Botany,' p. 451, 

 upon a single species, to which I have added a second and, appa- 

 rently, a very distinct form. "With much of the structure of 

 Willdenovia^ as regards the male inflorescence, it differs in the 

 ahsence of a thickened disk below the female flower: the styles, 

 moreover, are thick and almost woody, and are persistent or 

 nearly so. These circumstances, combined with the difterence in 

 habit, induce me to consider this a very distinct genus. 



J- 



Anthochoetus. 



A genus established by Nees, upon some male plants, the types 

 of which exist in Dr. Sondcr's herbarium. As I am able to add 

 nothing to Nees's account of this genus, I leave it as I found it, 

 and quote the words of Endlicher with reference to the plants, 

 " HerbaB capenses vix notse," Gen. Plant. 121. 



The male plant in Dr. Sender's herbarium has a general 



resemblance to the Australian Caloro^hiis, 



CiiAsrEnoLEPis. 



A genus founded by Steudel, and wholly unknown to me

in 



African species of this genus were described, the examination 

 of more extensive materials, especially the study of Burchell's 

 specimens, has enabled me to make a few additions and correc- 

 tions, which are appended to the description of the other genera 

 of the order.
