griseo obtecti; ramuli florentes abbreviati, ad 4 cm longi, atropurpurei, 
minute puberuli, densifoliosi. Folia majuscula, plana, conspicue petiolata, 
patula ascendentiave, late ovata vel elliptica, obtusa, basi rotundata, 6— 
8 mm longa, 3—6 mm lata, coriacea, utrinque inconspicue puberula,

immersa fusciore ornata, margine vix incrassata recurvaque paullulo cre- 
nulata; petioli planiuseuli, 1—1,5 mm longi, puberuli. Umbella 3—6- 
albidiflora, pedicellis minutissime puberulis aut glabriusculis braeteatis. 
Calyx circiter 4 mm longus, inconspicue puberulus, segrientis post an- 
thesin reflexis triangularibus obtuse acuminatis fere complanatis dorso 
translucente glandulosis apicem versus incrassatis. Petala sessilia, oblon- 
guiscula, obtusa aut rotundata, circiter 4 mm longa, 2 mm lata, glabra, 
dorso superne translucente-glandulosa. Stamina 5 mm longa, glabra; 
staminodia late. lanceolata, circiter 2 mm longa, inferne parciciliolata. 
Pistillum glabrum, stylo crasse filiformi 3,5—4 mm longo, stigmate trun- 
cato. Carpella 4 mm longa, levia, cornubus gracilibus patulis mox re-

A. Rehmanniana exhibits an alliance to A. Froemblingii, mihi, but is 
distinguished by the larger leaves, their dorsal glandular punctation and 
sunken midrib, the very inconspicuous pubescence of the pedicels and 
calyces, the shorter petals, and not muricately glandular carpels. 
42. Agathosma spinescens Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus xerophyticus, decumbens (?), divaricato-ramosus, ramis glabris 
griseis, ramulis teretibus puberulis albidis saepe in spinas validas ad 
7 em longis mutatis. Folia subsessilia, patula vel adpressa, internodiis 
subaequilonga, complanata, ovata, subacuta, basi rotundata vel in petiolum 
perbrevem complanatum ciliolatum attenuata, 4—6 mm longa, 2,5—3 mm 
lata, valde coriacea, utrinque glabra, supra nitentia, subtus pallidiora, 
haud nitentia, costata, marginibus incrassatis glandulis notatis. Umbella 
laxe 2—6-flora ad apices spinarum posita, floribus majusculis albo-roseis; 
pedicelli 4—6 mm longi, patenter pubescentes, bracteis ovatis acutis 
2 mm longis membranaceis puberulis ciliolatisque. Calyx extra glaber, 
lobis variabilibus anguste lateve deltoideis vel ovato-deltoideis subacutis 
vel obtusis 3 mm longis rigidis vix ciliolatis. Petala patula, brevissime 
unguiculata, oblongo-elliptica, rotundata, in toto 6—7 mm longa, 3 mm 
lata, glabra; staminodia oblongo-lanceolata, vel ovato-oblonga, acuminata, 
glandula terminata, 2—3 mm longa, carnosula, flavescentia, minus ciliolata. 
Stamina circiter 5 mm longa, glaberrima, antheris nigrescentibus, Stylus
