capitula campanulata, 0,8 em longa, 1 cm lata; involucri squamae 2- 
seriatae, lanceolatae, acuminatae, marginibus anguste membranaceis, in-

Cape Colony; on stony hills near Prince Albert, approx. alt. 700 
meters, Dec., H. Bolus, 11528 (in herb. Kew, my own, &c.), 
35. Tripteris confusa Bolus, 1. c., p. 394. ($ Paniculatae.) 
Ad T. arborescentem accedit, sed foliis majoribus inferioribus, petio- 
latis, chaeniis minoribus, alis multo angustioribus, differt. 
Herba annua, undique plus minusve glanduloso-pubescens, 30—50 cm 
. alta; caulis erectus, striatus, internodiis 1—2 cm longis; folia alterna, 
erecto-patentia, inferiora petiolata, petiolo semi-amplexicaule, 1,5—2 cm 
longo, lanceolato-ovata, acuta, serrato-dentata, puberula, nervis primariis 
tribus, adscendentibus, 5—6,5 cm longa, 2,5—3 cm lata, folia superiora 
amplexicaulia, saepe basi auriculata, acuminata, integra, 1—3 cm longa; 
capitula crateriformia, 0,8 em longa, 1 cm lata, in corymbo laxo, 6—9 
cephalo, bracteolato, disposita; involucri squamae 1-seriatae, lanceolatae, 
cuspidatae, marginibus membranaceis 0,6—0,8 cm longae; flores radii 
15—17, ligulis 2 cm longis; achaenia florum radii dorso rugosa, 0,4 em 
longa, alis 0,1—0,15 cm latis, disci? (monstrosa?) teretia, exalata, 0,8 cm 
longa. 
Little Namaland; between Port Nolloth and Oograbies, approx. 
alt. 90 meters, Aug., Bolus, 9607; near Spektakel, approx. alt. 460 meters, 
Sept., Bolus, 9608. 
The ‘achenes in our specimens have fallen from the heads, and we 
are unable to determine whether the terete exalate form belongs to the 
disk or the ray flowers, although most probably to the former. In either 
case they might be a monstrous form. 
36. Gazania linearifolia Bolus, 1. c., p. 395. (Compositae- Arctotideae.) 
G. foliis caulinis, radicalibusque linearibus, setuloso-ciliatis; involucri 
squamis quam tubus duplo longioribus. 
Ad G. armerioidem accedit. 
Herba perennis, 20—25 cm alta; rhizoma reliquiis fibrosis foliorum 
delapsorum interdum coronatum; folia pleraque radicalia, adscendentia, 
rigida, e basi dilatata linearia, acuta, setaceo-mucronata, marginibus 
revolutis, distanter setuloso-ciliatis, subtus nervis 3—5, prominentibus, 
5—8 cm longa, 0,1—0,2 cm lata, caulina distantia sensim minora in 
calyculum abeuntia; caulis simplex, erectus, tomentosus; capitulum soli- 
tarium, cyathiforme, basi rotundatum, 2,5 cm longum, 2 cm latum; in- 
volucri squamae 2—3-seriatae, lineares, acuminátae, intimis setaceis, 
corollae ligulas aequantibus, exterioribus scabridis rigide ciliatis, duplo 
longiores quam tubus, bracteolis squamis conformibus vestitus; flores 
flavi, radii ligulae ca. 17, subtus discolores; achaenia dense sericeo-villosa, 
 pappi squamis biseriatis, lanceolatis, setaceo-acuminatis.
