60. Agathosma pseudimbricata Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus parvulus, ad 0,5 m altus, ramis rectis saepe simplicibus 
pseudo-verticillatim positis subangularibus bruneis minute patenter pube- 
rulis mox glabris foliis vestitis. Folia adpressa, imbricata, ovata vel 
ovato-triangularia, obtusiuscula vel obtuse subcuspidata, 2,7—4,7 mm 
longa, 0,7—1,5 mm lata, supra late concava, subtus subcarinata deinde 
convexiuscula, obscure punctata, coriacea, utrinque glabra, pallide viridia 
margine incrassata, distanter denticulato-ciliolata; petiolus latissimus, dorso 
carinatus, 0,3 mm vix excedens. Umbella pauciflora (circiter 3— 6-flora), 
8 mm diametro, pedicellis 1,7—2 mm longis fere glabris saepe foliis 
occultis; bracteolae binae, oppositae, lanceolato-oblongae, obtusae, scario- 
sae, intra concavae, extra carinatae, pedicellis subaequilongae, pectinato- 
ciliolatae. Calyx 2,5 mm longus, utrinque glaber, segmentis ovatis vel 
ovato-triangularibus intra concavis extra carinatis apicem versus rigide 
gibbosis margine ciliolatis. Petala oblanceolato-cuneata, 3,5 mm longa, 
laminis superne glabris inferne albo-villosis. Stamina circiter 3 mm longa, 
filamentis complanatis parcipuberulis; staminodia lanceolata, subacuta, 
2 mm longa, crassiuscula medio patenter pilosa. Ovarium superne albo- 
hirsutum, stylo perbrevi crasso glabro truncato. 
The specimen upon which the preceding description is based was 
found among Dr. R. Schlechter's gathering of „Acmadenia Harveyana 
Schltr.“ no. 9922 (Acmadenia pungens Bartl. and Wendl., collected at 
Brand Vley, Worcester Division, 300 m, in January 1897; it appears to 
come in the S Imbricatae, and approximates most closely to A. imbricata 
Willd., from which however it is easily distinguished by its dwarfer 
habit, relatively shorter and broader leaves, their obsolete dorsal puncta- 
tion, the inconspicuous marginal ciliolation, smaller and fewer-flowered 
heads, and the shorter oblanceolate cuneate petals. 
61. Agathosma gustrowensis Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus parvulus, prostratus, ramulis florentibus brevibus ad 2 cm 
longis saepe verticillatim dispositis citrineis glabris imbricato-foliatis. 
Folia ericoidea, perbreviter petiolata, fere adpressa vel apice subrecurva, 
lanceolata vel lineare oblonga, glanduloso-obtusa, 2,5—3 mm longa, car- 
nosula, glaberrima, supra complanata vel concavula, subtus obtuse cari- 
nata, carina margineque obsolete impresso-glandulosa. Umbella con- 
fertiflora, (10 -12-flora), hemisphaerica, 1—1,3 cm diametro, floribus albis; 
pedicelli 2—2,5 mm longi, puberuli, mox glabri, citrinei, bracteolati; brac- 
teolae acutae, minutissimae. Calyx 1,5—1,7 mm longus, extra glaber, 
segmentis lineari-lanceolatis obtusis dorso carinato-convexis margine haud 
ciliolatis. Petala late subcuneata, rotundata, 2,7—3 mm longa, 0,7—1 
mm lata, margine inferne parciciliolata vel glabra. Stamina 4 mm longa, 
glabra; staminodia lanceolata, glandula apicali notata, circiter 2 mm longa, 
albida, medio ciliolata, Pistillum glabrum, stylo filiformi staminibus 
aequilongo.
