beneath and on the petiole, which is minutely auricled at base, the limb 
cordate-reniform, sharply 5—7-9-lobed, the lobes toothed ; corymb lax, 
much divided or panicled, many-headed ; inv. scales 7-8 ; ligules few; 
achenes flat, puberulous and ciliate. 
Has. Tulbagh, Ecklon! (Herb. Sd.) 
A loose growing, tall, straggling plant, resembling C. lobata, but tomentose. It 
is much more slender than C. erodioides, and wants the ample, leafy ear-lobes to the 
petioles, so conspicuous in that species. Ecklon’s specimens are in poor condition. 
10. C. geifolia (Linn. Sp. 1242); stem half-herbaceous, weak, flexuous, 
branched, pubescent; leaves on long petioles, cordate-reniform, bluntly ~ 
or deeply lobed orcoarsely toothed, the lobes 3—5-toothed, nearly glabrous © : 2 
above, beneath pubescent or villous ; petioles of the cauline leaves auri- 
cled at base ; fl.-branches naked, laxly corymbose, few-headed ; pedicels 
elongate, sparingly scaly ; iny. scales 9-12, oblong, acute, glabrous or 
puberulous, 3-5-nerved ; ligules 5-8; achenes on each side hispidulous, —_- 
ciliate. Zh./ Cap. 671, DC.1.¢. 307. C. distans, Kze. in Linn. 17, p. 571? | 
Has. Cape, Thunberg! Common in woody places, on the Mts. near Capetown and 
Simonstown. Kuilsriver, Zey.! 920. (Herb. Th., D., Hb., Sd.) \ 
Stems 1-2 feet high, flexuous, vaguely and distantly branched. Petioles 1-2 inches - 
long. Lamina }-1 inch long, 1-13 inch wide, more or less deeply 7-9 lobed. Heads 
sometimes solitary, commonly 3-12 in a loose, irregular corymb. Iny. varying from 
glabrous to downy or hispid. Pubescence of branches copious or scanty. leaves 
vary greatly in the depth or shallowness of the lobes. Judging by the author’s de- 
scription, C. distans, Kze. can hardly be any thing but this common plant; it was 
raised in Leipsic Bot, Garden, from seeds sent by Gueinzius. 
11. C. lobata (L’Her. Sert. Angl. 26); stems suffruticulose, flexuous, 
much branched, glabrous; leaves on long petioles, roundish-reniform 
(rarely lyrate), shortly many lobed, the lobes 3—5-toothed, the teeth cal- 
lous ; petioles of the upper leaves eared at base; corymb loosely branched, 
many-headed; pedicels scaly; inv. scales 6-18 glabrous ; achenes hispi- 
dulous and ciliate. Zh./ Fl. Cap. 671. DC.l.c.307. Sieb.! Fl. Cap.368.

Stems 2-3 ft. high. Petioles slender, 1-2 inches long. Leaves 1 inch long, 14-inch 
wide, occasionally witha pair of lateral lobes. Corymb. variable, very loose, few or 
many headed, Very like C. geifolia, except that it is in all parts quite glabrous, with 
a more branching inflorescence. The fl. heads vary much in size and number of inv. 
scales; our var. 8. is an extreme state, in all respects, save pubescence, agreeing 
with C. alchemilloides! 
12. C, Saxifraga (DC.1.c. 306); suffruticose, erect or diffuse, glabrous ; 
leaves on long petioles, roundish-reniform, truncate or cuneate at base, 
coarsely 5-g-toothed at the apex, many-nerved and netted-veined ; 
petiole not auricled at base, rarely with 1-2 lobules below the lamina ; 
fi.-branches nude, simple or branched, pedicels elongate, sparingly 
scaly; inv. 8-12-scaled, sub-calyculate, scales glabrous, oblong 4-5- 
nerved; ligules 3-5; achenes on each side hispidulous, ciliate.
