somewhat falcate subscaberulous leaves and their very shortly strigillose 
indumentum, almost glabrous pedicels and calyces, shorter petals and 
sparingly bearded carpels. Superficially it resembles A, hortensis, mihi. 
92. Agathosma microcalyx Dümmer, nov. spec. 
Frutieulus gracilis, erectus, multiramosus, inferne nudus, cortice 
griseo obtectus; ramuli ultimi breves, saepe umbellatim dispositi, an- 
gulati, brunei, inconspicue patenter puberuli, foliosi. Folia magis mi- 
nusve patula, petiolo adpresso complanato 0,5—0,7 mm longo; lamina 
lineares, paulo falcata vel recta, obtusa, inferne subattenuata, 3—4 mm 
longa, 0,5—0,7 mm lata, carnosula, supra complanata, subtus convexo- 
earinata vel convexa, impresso-punctata, longitudinaliter obscure canali- 
culata, ubique minute dense puberula, margine incrassata recurva im- 
presso-punctata. Umbella 8—12-flora, 1—1,5 cm diametro, floribus al- 
bidis folia suprema valde excedentibus; pedicelli 3—4 mm longi, cum 
ealyce glanduloso-puberuli, bracteolis subulatis 0,7 mm vix excedentibus 
medio ornati. Calyx parvulus, 1 mm longus, segmentis late triangulari- 
bus subacutis apice glandulosis. Petala calycem valde excedentia, longe 
unguiculata, toto 3 mm longa, glabra, lamina late ovali 1 mm longa. 
Stamina petala saepe excedentia, glabra; staminodia anguste elliptica, 
1,5 mm longa, glandula apicali ornata, coriacea, albo-puberula ciliataque. 
Stylus filiformis, glaberrimus.

Though bearing a somewhat superficial resemblance to A. hispida 
Bartl. and Wendl. under which name the specimens constituting this 
species were distributed, the spreading, relatively thinner, very inconspi- 
cuously downy leaves, the glandularly puberulous pedicels and calyces, 
the small broadly triangular teeth of the latter and the short broadly 
oval limb of the long-clawed petals, emphasise the necessity of their 
severance from the species they were hitherto confounded with.
