In planitie prope pagum Murraysburg, in regione editiore 

 Colonise Capensis, alt. 3800 ped., flor. Febr. ; legit H. Bolus 

 (No. 2059). 



A species distinguished from most of its congeners by its 

 broadly lanceolate leaves. D. glaucum, Baker, which has broadly 

 ligulate leaves, is a very different plant.

Hab. In clivis montosis Drakensbergen, prope Macamac, in 

 Colonia Trans- Vaal, alt. circ. 5000 ped., flor. Junioj legit J. II. 

 MacLea, anno 1875. (Herb, propr. No. 3011.) 



A remarkable species, with the aspect of an Aloe. It is 

 readily distinguished by its long and densely-flowered spike. I 

 have only seen the flowering scapes ; but the leaves were described 

 to me by the late Mr. MacLea, an energetic collector in the region 

 indicated.
