10 RUBIACEZ (Sond.) [Hedyotis 
Has. Port Natal, Gueinzius,123. (Herb. Sond.) 
Very nearly allied to the preceding, but easily distinguished by the lax habit, 
longer branches, glabrous, somewhat longer and broader leaves (8-10 lines long, 14-2 
lines broad), and the pedicels. The flower and fruit are not different. Stigma bitid. 
6. H. geminiflora (Sond. in Linn. xxiii. p. 51); suffruticose, stem 
and branches angular, scabrous ; leaves linear-lanceolate, acute, some- 
what scabrous, with revolute margins ; stipules membranous, with 4-6 
sete ; pedicels axillary, in pairs, 1-flowered, in fruit deflexed, about as 
long as the calyx ; lobes of the calyx subulate, a little longer than the 
tube, scabrous ; corolla equalling the calyx ; fruit glabrous. 
Has. Grassy places on the Magalisberg, Nov. Zeyh. 756. (Herb. Sd., D.) 
A foot and more high, much branched. Leaves 14 inch long, 14-2 lines wide. 
Pedicles scabrous, 2 lines long. Calyx 4-fid. Lobes of the corolla nearly as long 
as the tube. Capsule subglobose. 
b. Kohautia. Corolla with a long terete tube, and a 4-lobed limb. (Sp. 7-16.) 
7. H. setifera (Sond.) ; suffruticose, erect, terete, branched ; branches 
subcompressed or rib-furrowed, puberous, or a little scabrous; leaves 
linear or linear-lanceolate, with revolute margins, cuspidately mucro- 
nate, mucro recurved, glabrous ; stipules cleft into 6 spreading bristles 
on both sides, which are longer than the membrane; corymbs few- 
flowered, laxly panicled; pedicels erect, in fruit 2-4 times longer than 
the calyx; lobes of the calyx a little longer than the tube, smooth ; tube 
of the corolla elongate, terete, with short, oval lobes ; fruit glabrous.

Oct. (Herb. D., Sd.) 
Stem 4-1 foot high, with erect-spreading branches. Leaves 4-1 inch long, 1-2 
lines broad, Pedicels rarely solitary, mostly geminate, or 3-4 aggregated in the up- 
per part of the branches, unequal, glabrous. Calyx 1 line long, with subulate teeth. 
Corolla nearly 3 lines long. Capsule globose, smooth. 
8. H. Heynei (R. Br. in Wall. cat. 867); annual or biennial, quite 
glabrous ; stem erect, branched; leaves lance-linear, acute; stipules of 
2 or 3 very short bristles; pedicels axillary, 1-flowered, capillary, about 
_as long as the leaves ; corolla funnel-shaped; tube 3-4 times longer 
than the calycine lobes; styles subexserted, a little longer than the 
anthers ; capsule subglobose. Wght. ¢ Arn. Prod. p. 416. 
Has. Zulu, Natal, Gerr. § M‘K. 1365. (Herb. D., Sd.) 
About 1 foot high; branches erect, spreading. Leaves 6-8 lines long, } line 
broad. Stipules cupular, with minute bristles. Pedicels spreading. Flowers white, 
2 lines long. Limb of corolla 3 times shorter than the tube. Anthers oblong, sessile 
in the throat. Capsule 1 line long. The leaves are somewhat narrower than in 
East Indian specimens collected by Dr. Hooker and Thompson, but there are no 
other differences. 
9, H. brachyloba (Sond. in Linn. vol xxiii. p. 50) ; annual, scab- 
vous, branches subcompressed ; leaves dinear-lanceolate, with subrevo- 
lute margins; stipules cleft into 3~4 bristles on both sides, which are
