A Contribution to our knowledge of the Genus Agathosma. 413 
82. Agathosma filamentosa Schlechter in Engler's Bot. Jahrb. XXIV, 439. 
Coast Region.  Caledon Div.; Elim, 120 m, 22. April 1896, 
Schlechter, 7678! 
Probably approximating most closely to À. bisulca, from which the 
sparingly pilose twigs and leaves, the calyces and petals, and glabrous 
ovary, differentiate it. 
83. Agathosma gibbosa Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus decumbens vel erectiusculus, circiter 10 cm altus, ramis 
florentibus saepe confertis et rectis ad 8 cm longis angulatis strigillosis 
brunneis dense foliatis. Folia ad insertionem  strigilloso-barbata, ascen- 
dentia, imbrieata, oblongo-lanceolata, truncato-gibbosa, basin versus in 
petiolum 0,5—0,7 mm longum ciliatum attenuata, 5—8 mm longa, 2,5— 
3 mm lata, subcoriacea, supra glabra, nitentia, obscure costata, superne 
cucullata, subtus pallidiora, obscure punctato-glandulosa, elevato-costata, 
apicem versus valde gibbosa, margine haud incrassata recurvave, costis 
margineque longe pectinato-ciliata. Umbella densiflora, 1,5—2 cm dia- 
metro, floribus albidis; pedicelli 4—5 mm longi, parcissime pilosi, mox 
glabri, atrobrunei (bracteolae minutáe, deciduae). Calyx circiter 2 mm 
longus, extra glaber bruneusque, lobis anguste deltoideis obtusis dorso 
apicem versus carinatis summo apice margine albo-strigillosis. Petala 
unguieulata, angusta, 3,3—3,5 mm longa, 1 mm lata, glaberrima, limbis 
oblongis obtusis basi in unguem attenuatis; Stamina 4—5 mm longa, 
glaberrima; staminodia lanceolato-oblonga, 2 mm longa, utrinque atte- 
nuata, apice glandulosa, medio ciliolata, ceterum glabra. Ovarium su- 
perne albo-strigillosum, stylo filiformi 3.5—4 mm longo glabro, stigmate 
obtuso. 
Coast Region. Mossel Bay Div.; near the mouth of the Gauritz 
River and at Fish Bay, 150 m, August, Drege, 7091! (Herb. Kew; 
Brit. Mus.) 
This species represents A. serpyllacea Lichst. var. s. of Sonder 
(Fl. Cap. I, 427), of which the author opines that it may prove 
eventually to be worthy of specific rank, differing from the latter in the 
broader oblong-lanceolate leaves, their prominent dorsal subapical gibbo- 
sity, scarcely recurved margins, the prominent marginal and costal 
ciliation, shorter petals with relatively longer claws, and basally attenuate 
staminodes. 
84. Agathosma Dodii Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Frutieulus parvulus, ut videtur prostratus aut decumbens, substellato- 
ramosus, densifoliosus, ramulis brevibus 2—5 cm longis rubidis magis 
minusve adpresse pilosis foliosis. Folia patula vel subreflexa, perbreviter 
petiolata, la nceolata, subacuta, basi rotundata, 3—4 mm longa, circiter 1 mm 
lata, supra laevia griseo-viridia, parcistrigillosa, mox glabra, plana vel apicem 
versus sulcata, subtus prominenter costata, apice gibbosa, pallidiora, mar- 
gine paullulo incrassata carinaque longe ciliato-strigillosa; petiolus latus, 
planiusculus, fla vescens. Umbella saepe corymbosim disposita, confertiflora, 
hemisphaerica subglobosave, 1— 1,5 cm diametro, saepe ramulos laterales
