Kommetje, 30. Aug. 1896, Wolley Dod, 1449! (Herb. Kew). 
. This interesting acquisition to the Cape Peninsula Flora, mimicking 
hairy forms of the common Thyme, Thymus Serpyllum, to a remarkable 
degree, is allied to A. serpyllacea Lichst. from which the smaller stri- 
gillose-ciliate leaves with scarcely recurved margins, the rose-coloured 
flowers, the piliferous calyx-lobes, and longer staminodes differentiate it. 
85 Agathosma uncinata Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus erectus, gracillimus, parce pseudodichotomo-ramosus, ad 
0,5 m altus, inferne nudus; ramuli florentes simplices, 5—10 cm alti,

subfaleata, conduplicata, anguste lanceolata, subacuta vel recurvo-mucro- 
nulata, (fere uncinata), inferne in petiolum perbrevem sensim attenuata, 
5—10 mm longa, circiter 1 mm lata, rigide coriacea, glaberrima, supra 
profunde concava, subtus carinata, glandulis impressis fuscis inconspicuis 
conspersa, margine integra. Umbella 10—18-flora, 1,5—2 cm diametro, 
floribus (sicco), albis, pedicellis 6—7 mm longis bruneis glabris inferne 
bibracteolatis, bracteolis deciduis minutis. Calyx circiter 2 mm longus, 
glaber, segmentis lanceolatis obtusis dorso carinato-convexis margine 
glabris. Petala graciliter unguiculata, toto 4—5 mm longa, laminis 
obovato-oblanceolatis glabris dorso apice uniglandulosis, unguibus albo- 
pareivillosis. Stamina 5 mm longa, glabra; staminodia filiformia, circiter 
2 mm longa, glandula glabra brunea terminata, ceterum  albo-villosa. 
Pistillum glabrum, stylo filiformi 4—4,5 mm longo.

Niven, 22! (Herb. Brit. Mus.). 
Superficially this species might be mistaken for a slender form of 
A. pusilla Dümmer, but the essentially glabrous nature of the plant, the 
conspicuous dorsal leaf-punctation, the often hook-like leaf-apices, the 
umbellate inflorescence , the glabrous calyx-segments, the shorter petals 
with a one-glanded limb and sparingly villous claw, and shorter and free 
staminodes render it easy ot identification. The species is provisionally 
. allocated a place in the § Huagathosmae of subsection B of Sonder near 
A. rubra Willd.
