We are not certain that this fhrub ought in reality to be 
referred to Arctotis, but it certainly has a near affinity with 
fome of the fpecies, at prefent colleéted under that genus, 
which feems to have been ufed as a common receptacle for 
many Cape fhrubs, of this family, that will not properly unite, 
and muft at a future time undergo a new arrangement. 
It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, has an up- 
tight fhrubby ftem, covered with a greyifh bark, but the 
anches are herbaceous, green, and, as well as the leaves, 4 
covered with a glutinous, fhining fub{tance. The leaves are 
t€rnate, wider at the upper end, and narrowed downwards, | 
feffile, and decurrent a fhort diftance along the branch, rather 
ply indented on the fides: each tooth, of which there are 
about three pair, has an appendix or toothlet at its bafe, fo 
much refle&ted, as not to be feen on the upper furface. The 
loffoms are large and the colour of red lead. 7
