3. K. aizoides (DC. 1. c. 337); “quite glabrous ; stem very short, 
shrubby ; leaves crowded on the crown, compressed, quite entire, cal- 
lous-mucronate, acute ; pedune. twice as long as the leaves, nude, 
striate, bifid, 2-4-headed; pedicels elongate, scarcely scaly under the 
head ; inv. sc, about 12, scarious edged, equalling the flowers; fl. 
25-30; achenes terete, densely hairy.” DC. Z. c. 
Has. Zwarteberge, near Kendo, Drege! (Herb. Sond.) 
Said to be allied to X. ficoides, but ‘ scarcely glaucous, much smaller, with fewer 
fl. heads. Leaves 3-3} inches long, 3 lines wide. Heads 6 lines long, and nearly 
as wide.” DC. I give this on DC.’s authority; a specimen in Hb. Sond., with the 
fl. in bad condition, looks to me more like a Doria. Specimens collected by Dr. 
Pappe, at the Waterfall, Tulbagh (in Herb. Cap.) agree better with DC.’s character. 
Their leaves vary from 14-44 inches long, 2-3 lines wide. The scape, sometimes 
one-headed, is 6-12 inches long, in the larger plant forked and 2-3-headed ; pedicels 
2 inches long. Achenes densely and softly villous. 
4. K. repens (Haw. Succ. Pl. 313); “quite glabrous; root creeping; 
stem fleshy-fruticose, erect; leaves fleshy, glaucous, oblong-acuminate, 
depressed, subconcave above ; pedunc. naked, somewhat branched, 
corymbulose, few-headed ; inv. campanulate, subcalyculate, of 5-6 (or 
8-10) scales ; flowers 15-16 (or 20-30); achenes glabrescent.” DC.

Has. Cape, Thunberg/ (Herb. Th., and v. v. cult ) 
“Smaller and more glaucous than KX. jicoides, which it closely resembles ; it differs 
chiefly in the depressed, not compressed leaves. 
5. K. radicans (DC. 1. c. 337); stem herbaceous, decumbent, rooting 
at intervals, sharply wing-angled; branches short, erect; leaves fleshy, 
lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, tapering to each end, acute, scattered ; 
pedune. slender, naked, simple or bifid, pedicels elongate, unibracteate, 
one-headed ; heads homogamous, 20-2 5-fl.; inv. 10-12-leaved, equalling 
the disc, acute at base, subcalyculate; scales linear-acuminate; achenes 
hispid, ribstriate. X. gonoclada, DC. 1. ¢. 336. Cacalia radicans, Th.!

Has. At Saldanha Bay; on the Karroo, and elsewhere, Thunberg/ Under bushes, 
in thickets by the Zwartkops R., Z. g Z./ Fish R., Burke! (Hb. Th., D., Hk., Sd.) 
Stems 1-2 feet long, prostrate, subsimple, rooting every few inches, secundly-leafy ; 
branches 1-2 inches long, leafy, erect. Both stem and branches are wing-angled by 
ridges proceeding from the base of the leaves. Leaves 7-1 inch long, 2~3 lines-wide. 
Pedune. 4-5 inches long. The leaves, which have a taste of turpentine, are eaten 
by the Hottentots. Zhunberg’s specimens quite agree with those of Z£. ¢ Z. of “ K. 
gonoclada.” 
6. K. crassulefolia (DC. 1. c. 336); glabrous; stem fleshy-fruticose, 
short, simple, erect ; leaves crowded on the upper half of the stem, 
linear-semiterete, acute or subulate, quite entire ; peduncle elongate, 
naked, bifid or sparingly branched near the summit, the pedicels elongate, 
distantly scaly, one-headed ; heads campanulate, homogamous, about 
30-fl.; inv. bracteolate at base, scales about 12, membrane-edged, acu- 
minate, with inflexed points not shorter than the disc ; achenes pu- 
“bescent ; pappus white, equalling the flowers.
