In the attachment of the staminodia to the claws of the petals this 
species suggests its inclusion in the $ Pseudostemon, though it bears a 
great superficial resemblance to À. hirta Bartl. and Wendl., of the S 
Capitato-racemosae, ‘a section illnamed and moreover scarely wortby of re- 
tention. À. Peglerae is distinguished from the latter by the glabrous 
twigs, the spreading longer narrower linear apparently semiterete obtuse 
glabrous leaves, their non-ciliate margins, the warted pedicels and ca- 
lyces, the latter not bearded at the apices, and the glabrous ovary. The 
specimens were distributed as A. ericoides Schlechtendal.

Agathosma bifida, Bartl. and Wend., Beitr. Bot. 152 (1824), based on 
Diosma bifida, Jacquin's Coll. III, t. 20, f. 1 is an earlier name than the 
preceding and should be preferred. Dichosma bifida, Dec. ex., Loudon 
Hort. Britt. 85 (1830), must be regarded as a synonym, as also Agathosma 
desciscens Fisch. in Overgr. Bijdr. Naturk. Wetensch. VII, 22, t. 2 (1832). 
13. Agathosma struthioloides Dümmer, nov. spec.

glandulosi, brunnei, inferne bracteolati; bracteolae binae, subulatae, 1 —2cm 
longae, ciliatae; bracteae foliis similes sed minores ciliataeque. Calyx 
circiter 3 mm longus, extra glaber, segmentis lanceolatis obtuse acumi-
