subacuta, medio basin versus attenuata, 4—6 mm longa, 2—3,5 mm lata, 
valde coriacea, utrinque puberula, ecostata, dorso punctato-glandulosa, 
flavescente viridis, margine incrassata paulo recurva irregulariter papil- 
lato-denticulata. Umbella terminales, 5— 10-flora, hemisphaerica, circiter 
2 cm diametro, floribus majusculis albo-roseis folia excedentibus; pedi- 
celli 3—5 mm longi, stipitate-glandulosi, bracteis lanceolato-oblongis par- 
vulis ornati. Calyx extra bruneus, glandulosus, lobis deltoideis aut 
quadratis obtusis truncatis 3 mm longis seariosis marginibus hyalinis integris 
vel denticulatis basin versus ciliolatis. Petala vix unguiculata, obovato- 
cuneata, cucullata, 6—7 mm longa, basin versus ciliolata. Stamina 4— 
5 mm longa, glaberrima; staminodia oblongo-oblanceolata, glandula apicali 
notata, 2,5-—8 mm longa, margine dense albo-ciliolata. Stylus aliquando 
abortivus, subulatus, staminibus brevior, glaber, stigmate obtuso.

The Adenandra-like flowers and the stipitately glandular pedicels of 
this species suggest affinities with À, craspedota E. Mey., but the shorter 
entirely puberulous leaves with irregularly papillate-denticulate margins. 
and more-flowered umbels, constitute important points of distinction. 
40. Agathosma Froemblingii Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus, decumbens(?) vel erectus, breviter divaricato-ramosus, 
ramis inferne nudis griseis glabris, ramulis ultimis brevissimis patenter 
puberulis bruneis foliatis. Folia patula, subsessilia, saepe internodiis 
longiora, late ovata, subcerdata vel rotundata, subacuta, basi rotundata 
aut subcordata, 4—6 mm longa, 3—4 mm lata, crasse coriacea, compla- 
nata, pallide viridia, subtus pallidiora, utrinque puberula, dorso costa 
obscura, margine haud incrassata recurvave impresso-glanduloso-punctata ; 
petioli complanati, lati, 0,3—0,5 mm longi.  Umbellae ramulos breves 
foliatos terminantes, laxe 1—3-florae, floribus majusculis albo-roseis; pe- 
dicelli graciles, patenter puberuli, 7—9 mm longi, ebracteolati? Calyx 
extra puberulus, lobis reflexis ovato-deltoideis dorso apicem versus scarioso- 
carinatis subacutis 2—2,5 mm longis ciliolatis. Petala vix unguiculata, 
oblongo-ovalia, obtusa vel rotundata, circiter 6 mm longa, 2,5—3 mm 
lata, glabra, margine involuta. Stamina 5 mm longa, glaberrima, antheris 
atropurpureis; staminodia oblongo-elliptica, glandula terminata, 2 mm 
longa, puberula ciliolataque. Stylus filiformis, 3 mm longus, glaber, 
stigmate minuto. Carpella immatura muricato-glandulosa. 
The specimens upon which the preceding description is based, were 
received from Dr. H, Bolus in June 1898 with a collection of plants from 
the Clanwilliam Division, minus a label, but may have been collected near 
Wupperthal, as in the case of 4. denticulata Dümmer, to which they 
shew an obvious alliance. From it, the species is at once distinguished 
by the more stunted divaricately branched habit, the shorter broadly 
ovate or subcordate leaves, which have no dorsal glandular punctation, 
while their margins ore distinctly entire, not thickened or recurved. The 
umbels are fewer-flowered, their pedicels being moreover puberulous and
