A Contribution to our knowledge of the Genus Agathosma. 327 
Coast Region. Riversdale Div.; lower port of the Langebergen at 
Garcias Pass, Dec. 1, 1814, Burchell, 6934! (Herb. Kew). 
A. struthioloides is not unlike A. umbellata Sond. in general appea- 
rance, but approximates to A. monticola Sond. in its warty glandular 
twigs, differing however from the latter in the more dorsally convex 
leaves, their prominent glandular punctation and entire margins, the 
glabrous pedicels, not ciliate calyx-segments, gland-bearing petals, shorter 
staminodes, and glabrous ovary.

Coast Region. Cape Div.; Cape Peninsula. Constantiaberg. 22. Nov. 
1896, Wolley Dod, 1935! (Herb. Kew). 
A species of the S Diplopetalum perhaps nearest to A, montana 
Schlecht. from which the dorsally obtusely keeled and punctate leaves, 
and ciliate calyx-lobes distinguish it; it is also an undoubted close ally 
of A. monticola Sond. 
17. Agathosma capituliformis Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fructiculus parvulus, rigidus, circiter 0,5—1 dc. altus, parciramosus, 
ramis ascendentibus rectis superne saepe verticillatim ramosis parcistri- 
gillosis citrineis foliis dense vestitis; ramuli florentes interdum brevissimi. 
Folia perbreviter petiolata, adpressa, imbricata, lanceolata, apice acumi- 
nata, paulo incurva, basi attenuata, 4—6 mm longa, 1—1,5 mm lata, 
tenuiter coriacea, pallide viridia, supra profunde acute sulcata, nitida, 
levia, subtus valde carinata, carina denticulato-scaberula punctato-glan- 
dulosa et margine longe pectinato-ciliata, ceteris glabra. Inflorescentia 
capituliformis, sessilis, hemisphaerica, 1,8 cm diametro, bracteis folia 
simulantibus; flores congesti, albidi, pedicellis 0,5—1,5 mm longis glabris 
suftulti; bracteolae basilares aut medio positae, filiformes, 2 mm longae, 
ciliatae. Calyx 2,5—3 mm longus, glaber, segmentis lanceolatis obtuse acu- 
minatis paulo incurvatis dorso carinatis vix ciliolatis. Petala unguiculata, 
.4 mm longa, anguste obovato-cuneata, glaberrima. Stamina 3—4 mm 
longa, glabra; staminodia filiformia, 3—3,5 mm longa, inferne albo-pilosa, 
superne uncinato-acuminata, glabra. Stylus subulatus, staminibus aequi- 
longus, glaber, ovario superne albo-strigilloso. 
Coast Region. Piquetberg Div.; summit of the Piquetberg. 530 m, 
9th Sept. 1894, Schlechter; 5238! (Herb. Kew and Brit. Mus.). 
Var. caledonensis Dümmer, nov. var. 
Frutex 0,3 m altus. Foliorum carinae cilia mox decidua. Pedicelli 
2,5—3 mm longi; bracteolae minutae, 0,7 mm vix excedentes, ciliatae. 
Calycis segmenta apice glandulosa. Petala angusta, oblanceolato-cuneata, 
3—3,2 mm longa, glandula apicali notata. Stäminodia petala simulantia, 
nisi paulo breviora et angustiora, filamentis inferne patenter parcipilosis.
