456 MISS L. S. GIBBS ON THE 
ASTROCHLENA MALVACEA, Hallier jf, var. EPEDUNCULATA, 
Rendle. 
Matopo Hills, veld and kopjes, general. Fl. Oct. 84. 
Distrib. Rhodesia. 
In this specimen the flowers are single in the axils of the leaves ; 
but as it was collected at the very commencement of the flowering 
period, this fact is probably due to less luxuriance of growth. 
The root-stock is perennial, sending out long shoots which run 
over the ground and bushes, and on these the flowers appear as 
soon as they start growth. The leaves and stems are covered 
with a white tomentum, the flowers are mauve.
