Plantae africanae novae. VI. 899 
stylus breviter exsertus validus rectus; stigma cyathiformi-peltatum; 
ovarium subglobosum glabrum. — South Africa; by streams near the 
Mont-aux-Sources, in the valley of the Injassuti River, alt. 1500—1800 
metres. Oct. 29, 1890, J. Thode, 59. — A well-marked species most 
nearly allied to E salax Salisb., next before which it may be placed. 
The corolla is of almost exactly the same shape but larger, while the 
limb-segments are proportionately shorter; the leaves also are different. 
The most important difference is the remarkable and apparently constant 
absence of bracts, a very rare character in the genus. In this respect, 
as well as by its muticous anthers, it differs also from the somewhat 
similar E. leucopelta Tausch.

affinis E. copiosae Wendl., differt indumento, floribus paucioribus, corollae 
textura crassiore coloreque, antheris calcaratis calcaribus longe ciliatis, 
ovario glabro. — Fruticulus ramosus, 30—40 cm, altus vel ultra; rami 
cum ramulis adscendentes foliosi puberuli, apice florigeri; folia inferiora 
erecto-patentia, superiora erecta dense imbricata 3-na subulata sub- 
obtusa, dorso suleata glabra levia nitida crassa, 0,3—0,4 cm longa; flores 
terminales 3-ni; pedicelli viscidulo-puberuli, 0,2 em longi; bracteae 3, 
arcte approximatae lineari-lanceolatae scariosae viscidae, 0,18 cm longae; 
sepala bracteis conformia sed paullo longiora latioraque; corolla cam- 
panulato-cyathiformis  viscidula textura crassiuscula, limbi segmentis 
rotundatis, ca. 0,08 cm longis, tota 0,25 cm longa; antherae manifestae 
corollam fere aequantes, basi dorsaliter affixae ovatae obtusae, basi 
obliquae calearatae, calcaribus pendulis longe ciliatis longitudine dimidio 
antherae, poro ?/, cellulae, cellulae 0,1 cm longae; stylus exsertus; 
stigma capitatum; ovarium depresso-globosum glabrum pallidum. — 
Cape Colony; Prince Albert Div., in rocky places above the Zwartberg 
Pass, alt. 1,675 metres, fl. Dec., Bolus, 11600! (in herb. Kew). — In 
external appearance most resembling E. hispidula L.; but in floral struc- 
ture most nearly allied to E. copiosa Wendl., differing in its indumentum, 
its fewer flowers, in its corolla of a thicker and less petaloid texture of 
a dull horn-like colour, in its anthers being always calcarate and the 
Spurs always long ciliate, finally in its glabrous ovary. It should be 
placed next after the last named.
