berulum (5-loculare — ex flore unico dissecto) — Cape Colony; Klein 
Drakensberg Mts, Paarl Div., Collector unknown (exhibited at the Paarl 
Wild Flower Show, Jan. 23, 1908). Communicated by Mr. N. S. Pillans, 
no. 1311 (in his herb. and mine). — A very distinct species which 
should be placed next after E. inflata Thunb., in the sequence of the 
„Flora Capensis,* vol. IV, section 1, p. 99. Besides the differences from 
that species noted above, the corolla of the present is about one-half 
larger and is minutely puberulous. The species has also a considerable 
resemblance to E. obliqua Thunb., 8 Pachysa (which would probably have 
been better placed in the § Ceramus), but differs considerably in its 
calyx and bracts. The specimens seen, though scanty in quantity, are 
in excellent state. 
66. Erica (S Ephebus Salisb.) Rudolfii Bolus, 1. c., p. 159. — E. affinis 
E. modestae Salisb., differt bracteis sepalisque linearibus, antheris lineari- 
bus, ovario puberulo, aliisque notis. — Rami validi rigidi pubescentes, 
ramulis brevibus superne vestiti; folia 3-na, juniora dense imbricato-con- 
ferta incurva, inferiora sublaxiora, lineari-semiteretia obtusa sulcata pu- 
berula ciliolata demum glabrescentia, 0,2 —0,25 cm longa; flores terminales 
3-ni; pedicelli 0,2 cm longi; bracteae lineares foliaceae, 2 approximatae 
1 paullo inferior; sepala linearia foliacea obtusa ciliolata pubescentia, 
0,3 em longa; corolla ovato-suburceolata, vix vel raro fauce constricta 
puberula, 0,5 cm longa alba, limbi segmentis erectis recurvisve ovatis 
carneis, tertia parte tubi longis; antherae inclusae vel subexsertae basi 
dorsifixae lineares obtusae, 0,1 cm longae, poro 0,062 cm longo, aristatae, 
aristis pendulis eirca 0,08 em longis; stylus breviter exsertus validus 
ruber; stigma capitatum 4-punctulatum nigrum; ovarium subglobosum 
puberulum, in disco pubescente nigro situm. — Cape Colony, on the 
Langebergen, near the town of Montagu, alt. 1200 metres, fl. Oct. R. 
Marloth, 3250! — Described from specimens which may not, perhaps, 
be completely developed; the limb of the corolla may therefore become 
more spreading and the anthers more exserted. In any case the species 
is certainly distinct. Its affinities are with E. modesta Salisb., and it 
should be placed between that and E. oresigena mihi.
