334 R. A. Dümmer. 
36. Agathosma Schlechteriana Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fructiculus gracilis, circiter 0,3 m altus, inferne aphyllus, ramis 
conferte fastigiatis gracilibus bruneis deinde griseis inconspicue patenter 
puberulis foliatis. Folia ascendentia, vix subimbricata, lanceolata, acuta, 
3—4 mm longa, 0,7—1 mm lata, coriacea, pallide viridia, primo tenuiter 
pubescentia scaberulaque, mox glabra, supra convexa, subtus concava, 
parcissime punetato-glandulosa, margine valde revoluta, distanter grandi- 
punctato-glandulosa, primo ciliolata, mox glabra; petioli complanati, 0,5 mm 
longi, mox glabri citrineique. Umbella laxe 3—7-flora, floribus (sicco) 
roseis, pedicellis 3 mm longis glabris bracteolatis, bracteolis basilaribus 
crassiusculis 0,3 mm vix excedentibus. Calyx 1,5—2 mm longus, utrinque 
glaberrimus, lobis obtuse deltoideis dorso obtuse carinatis. Petala sessilia, 
lanceolato-oblongiuscula, 3—4 mm longa, circiter 1 mm lata, glabra. Sta- 
minà staminodiaque glabra; staminodia filiformia, 2—2,2 mm longa, apice 
uncinata, minute glandulosa. Pistillum glabrum, stylo 2,2 mm vix ex- 
cedente. 
In the sessility of the petals and the strongly revolute-margined 
leaves this species approximates most closely to A. Dielsiana Schlechter, 
but differs by the leaves which are sparingly pubescent-strigillose at first, 
their acute apiees, the absence of any gibbosity on tbe dorsal surface 
near the apex, non-ciliate and obtusely keeled calyx-lobes, and shorter 
and wholly glabrous staminodes. Three specimens representing the type 
are preserved in the British Museum, but unfortunately are not accom- 
panied by any information as to locality or collector. I have pleasure 
in associating this Agathosma, with the name of Dr. R. Schlechter, to 
whose indefatigability our knowledge regarding the South African Flora, 
has been considerably augmented. 
37. Agathosma craspedota E. Meyer. 
Western Region. Little Namaqualand. Modderfontein, Roodeberg 
and Ezelskop, 1200—1500 m, Nov., Drege, 7128! (Herb. Brit. Mus.). 
This and the following four species constitute a wholly distinct 
section, which I term Adenandraeflorae, their flowers being the largest of 
the whole genus and superficially not unlike the small-flowering Adenan- 
dras, their umbels being laxly and few-flowered (2—10-flowered). 
38. Agathosma adenandriflora Schlechter in Engler’s Bot. Jahrbuch, 
XXVII, 160. 
Central Region. Ceres Div.; Koude Bokkeveld, 1500 m, Sept. 1896, 
Schlechter, 8902, 8903! 
The species is easily distinguished from the preceding by the villous 
twigs leaves pedicels and calyces, the shorter puberulous obsoletely 
glandularly-punctate leaves, and floral peculiarities. 
39. Agathosma denticulata Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fructex erectus, parciramosus, inferne aphylius, ad 0,5 m altus(?); 
ramuli ultimi teretiusculi, grisei, puberuli, foliis obtecti. Folia magis 
minusve adpressa, imbricata, petiolo complanato puberulo 1 mm vix ex- 
cedente; lamina complanata, obovata, obovato-oblanceolata vel elliptica,
