dentia, subimbricata, apice recurva, late ovata, basi rotundata, acute 
apiculata, apicula cartilaginea recurvaque, 4—5 mm longa, 3—4 mm 
lata, crasse coriacea, utrinque minute puberula, supra atroviridia, subtus 
pallidiora, conspicue glanduloso-punctata, margine cartilagineo-incrassata 
levia; petiolus brevissimus. Umbella 4—9-flora, hemisphaerica, circiter 
1—1,5 em diametro, floribus (sieco) rubridis; pedicelli 2—3 mm longi, 
erassiusculi, cum calyce creberrime griseo-puberuli, ebracteolati. Calyx 
eirciter 2 mm longus, segmentis crassiusculis ovatis obtusissime glan- 
dulosis dorso obtuse carinatis. Petala oblongiuscula, apice rotundata, in- 
ferne paulo attenuata intraque puberula, 3 mm longa, 1,3—1,5 mm lata. 
Stamina interdum petala paulo excedentia, glabra; staminodia carnosula, 
parvula, lineari-lanceolata, 1,5 mm longa, terminale glabra, glandulosa, 
ceterum albo-puberula. Ovarium superne albo-puberulum, stylo crasso 
glabro stamina raro excedente. 
Very much like À. recurvifolia Sond. in general appearance, but 
characterised by the minutely puberulous leaves, smaller flowers, den- 
sely greyish-puberulous calyces, the thickened and rounded calyx-lobes, 
shorter and more fleshy staminodes, and the puberulous ovary. The 
type obtains at the British Natural History Museum and was collected 
by Roxburgh at the Cape, but precisely where, cannot now be ascer- 
tained.

This variety differs from the type in the leaves, which are wholly 
glabrous and not puberulous, and the petals, which are markedly gland- 
dotted on their outer face.
