994 MR. R. A. ROLFE ON THE SELAGINE/E 
seedling, seven inches high, of S. spurta, L.! It is in bud, and 
has the broad serrate radical leaves so characteristic of this 
species when young, but which are rarely present in herbarium 
specimens. The plant called S. heterophylla by E. Meyer! is dis- 
tinct, and the name may be retained, as that of Thunberg must 
give way. 
S. pusilla, Thunb.! Four small specimens on one sheet of 
VANDELLIA SCABRA, Benth.! They are young seedlings, scarcely 
two inches high, with a flower each, and two of them with a 
second bud. They are labelled * e Cap. b. spei. Tunberg ” (sie). 
I have seen no other specimens from the Cape. Choisy classes it 
with “Species minus note.” : 
P. 100. S. CEPHALOPHORA, Thunb.! Six specimens on two 
sheets. Choisy rightly understood this species. Meyer described 
a distinct plant under this name, which Choisy apparently never 
saw, and which I have only seen from Drége’s collections. As 
the latter has a nodding spike I propose to call it S. NUTANS. 
S. cordata, Thunb.! <A single specimen of PHYLLOPODIUM 
HETEROPHYLLUM, Benth.! Both Meyer and Choisy used the name 
for the next species, S. decumbens, Thunb., and Choisy further 
used the name S. decumbens, Thunb., for his own S. quadrangularis. 
Thus nos. 42 and 56 in DeCandolle's * Prodromus °’ are the same 
species. 
S. DECUMBENS, Thunb.! Three specimens on one sheet. Both 
Meyer and Choisy wrongly called this S. cordata, Thunb. See 
note under the preceding species. 
S. bracteata, Thunb. Two specimens on one sheet. It has 
been labelled by Thunberg “S, rotundifolia,” and afterwards 
erased by two pencil lines ; and although the correct name is not 
on the sheet, it is nevertheless the type of the description. 
Choisy has correctly referred it to his Mrcropon rvcrpus! in his 
later Monograph, though he appears not to have known of it in 
his early one, when he founded the latter genus ; and, moreover, 
he quotes * S. rotundifolia ? L. f." in his early work, a mistake 
afterwards corrected by Meyer. That it has nothing to do with 
the description of the true S. ROTUNDIFOLIA, L. fil., is sufficiently 
proved by the words * corymbo composito " under that species. 
P. 103. Hebenstreitia scabra, Thunb. Two specimens on one 
sheet. The name * Hebenstretia integrifolia ” is the only one
