C. teretifolia is rather an exception, it being found as far to 
the east as the province of Graaf Reinet and Somerset, where 
it forms an undershrub on the hills. Living specimens have 
been received at Kew from Mr. Wilson Saunders in 1873, 
and from the late Mr, D. Hanbury, which flower in the month 
of July. . 
Descr. A branching undershrub, clothed with a more or 
less dense pubescence of short, soft hairs, which are glandular 
on the inflorescence especially. Branches as thick as the 
finger, and a foot or more long. Leaves opposite, in six series 
round the branches, three to eight inches long, cylindric or 
nearly so, contracted towards the sessile base, rather expanded 
towards the tip into a triangularly rounded discoloured apex, 
the old ones obscurely flattened and channelled down the 
middle, pale green except the red-brown apex. Peduncle six 
to eighteen inches high, stout, terete, naked, or with one or 
two opposite or alternate small leaves. Cyme four to ten © 
inches in diameter, nearly flat-topped; bracts scattered, 
linear, deciduous ; pedicels spreading, half to one and a half 
inch long. Calyz-tube obscure, lobes of variable length and 
breadth, triangular-ovate, acute, glandular. Cvrolla bright 
yellow, tube rather longer than the calyx-lobes, five-angled ; 
limb of five spreading and reflexed narrow acute segments, 
which are glandular on the back. Séamens erect, exserted, 
with the filaments slender and conniving by their middle; 
anthers very small. Hypogynous glands minute, emarginate. 
Carpels elongate, narrowed into slender styles with radiating 
tips; stigma capitate.-—J. D. H.
