dorsal hairs (not solely confined to the margins and the keel) densely 
ciliate calyx-segments, sparingly pilose claws of the petals, sparsely 
pubescent staminal filaments, hook-like staminodial apices, glabrous ovary 
and hairy style distinguish it. Sonder in his description of A. Joubertiana 
describes the pedicels as glabrescent, but in a specimen at Kew which 
I presume to be cotypical, they are minutely puberulous.

berg, 2100 m, Dec. 1895. Marloth, 2259 (Herb, Marloth and Berlin). 
According to the author the species is near À. lancifolia Ecklon and 
Zeyher, but differs in the oblong not scaberulous leaves, flowers, and 
villous style; I have not seen any specimens. 
89. Agathosma Leipoldtii Diimmer, nov. spec. 
Fruticulus ramosissimus, inferne nudus; ramuli conferti, breves, 2— 
6 cm longi, pallide brunnei, minute creberrime puberuli, superne angu- 
lati, densifoliati. Folia ascendentia imbricataque, mox patula, majuscula, 
fere complanata, lanceolata, subacuta, basin versus in petiolum per- 
brevem planiusculum puberulum pallide brunneum attenuata, 5—14 mm 
longa, 1,7—2 mm lata, utrinque minute tenuiter puberula griseo-viridia, 
supra complanata vel paullulo concava epunctataque, subtus crasse costata,. 
ad carinam glandulis elevatis paucis conspersa, margine incrassata, paul- 
lulo revoluta, obsolete punetato-glandulosa. Umbella pauciflora, (5—10- ` 
flora), hemisphaerica, 1—1,5 cm diametro, saepius ramulis lateralibus aut 
subterminalibus brevissimis terminata, floribus saepe in axillis foliorum 
supremis positis albidis; pedicelli 4—5 mm longi, inferne bibracteolati 
ovarioque puberuli; braeteolae vix oppositae, minutissimae. Calyx par- 
vulus, 2 mm vix longus, lobis acute deltoideis dorso carinatis ciliolatis. 
Petala gracile unguiculata, toto 3,5—4 mm longa, glabra, limbis late 
ovalibus 1,5—2 mm latis. Stamina 4—5 mm longa, glabra; staminodia 
linearia, 1,5—1,7 mm longa, puberula.  Pistillum glabrum, stylo filiformi 
5 mm longo.

Somewhat like A. gnidioides Schl. in general appearance, but the 
clawed petals suggest its alliance to A. Eckloniana Schlecht., from which 
however the lanceolate puberulous leaves, the puberulous pedicels and 
glabrous evary distinguish it. The species approaches A. glauca Ecklon 
and Zeyher, but the description of that species infers that the leaves 
are traversed dorsally by four lines of glands, while in the species under 
consideration the glands are confined to the midrib and the margins, 
and are moreover nearly obsolete.
