bractes are itideed ciliated, but not so the older ones, nor can, 
they in any case be well said to be hispid. Our plant too — 
agrees with Hrs. fruticosa in the Banksian Herbarium, and 
the only circumstance, that would lead us to doubt of its 
really belonging to that species, is, that Tuunserc has quoted 
the Erantuemum parviflorum of Beraius as a synonym of his 
Jruticosa, which has certainly nothing to do with our plant, 
and can indeed hardly belong to the genus HepenstReETIA. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Flowers in August.
