lobes in 1~3-5-pair, obovate or oblong, mucronate or pointless, the 
margin serrulate, strongly revolute; pedunce. as long as leaves or longer ; 
inv. campanulate or turbinate, subtruncate at base, lobes 2-3-seriate, 
variable in length, the outer linear, acute, herbaceous, long or short, 
inner varying from ovate-acute to lanceolate-acuminate. G. humilis, 
E. M.! DC. t. ¢ 513. 
Has. Little Namaqualand and Olifant’s R., and Nieuweveld, Beaufort, Drege/ 
Namaqualand, A. Wyley! (Herb. Hk., D., Sd.) 
The young plant looks quite hoary ; even the old is pale and glaucescent. Leaves 
3-4 in. long, in all that I have seen scaberulous with minute, sharp points, In 
Drege’s specimen (Hb. Hk.) the outer and inner inv. sc. are equal, as described by 
DC. and about 3 as long as the inv., the inner being semilanceolate ; in Mr. Wyley’s 
(Hb. D.) which otherwise agrees, the outer are much shorter, and the inner ovate- 
acute, not $ aslongasinv. In G. Aumilis, E. M., undoubtedly the same sp., the 
outer sc, are very short ; the inner exactly as in Drege’s ‘ G. varians.’ 
9. G. oxyloba (DC.! 1. c. 5 2) ; crown woody, multifid ; subradical 
leaves above glabrous or minutely scaberulous, beneath, save the nerve, 
albo-tomentose, leathery, some linear-lanceolate, acute, tapering at base, 
quite entire, some pinnatisect above the middle, the lobes linear, acute, 
2-4 pair, the margins of all reflexed and spinoso-ciliate ; pedune. gla- 
brous, about equalling the leaves ; inv. cylindr., subtruncate at base, - 
glabrous, the scales pluriseriate, the outer herbaceous, linear-filiform, 
the medial deltoid with subulate points, the inner semilanceolate, acute, 
membr. edged. 
Has. Zwellendam, Ecklon! Gamka R., Burke § Zey./ (Herb. Sd., Hk.) 
Glaucous (when dry); leaves 4 in. long, 2-3 l. wide, the lobes 1 1. wide. Outer 
inv. sc. in Ecklon’s specimen dispersed over the tube, in the dry state easily escape 
notice, and are not described by DC. In Burke § Zeyher’s plant they are much 
fewer, and sometimes wanting. 
10. G, serrulata (DC.? 1. c. 512); crown woody; radical leaves gla- 
brous above, beneath, save on the nerve, tomentose, some linear-sub- 
lanceolate, acute, tapering at base into a petiole, others (few) pinnati- 
sect, with linear, acute lobes, all with the reflexed margins minutely 
ciliato-serrulate; pedune. shorter than the lvs., glabrous; imv. cylindr., 
truncate at base, glabrous, lobes sub-triseriate, semilanceolate-acuminate, 
rather shorter than the tube, the outer herbaceous, ciliate (few or many), 
the inner with widely membranous edges, taper-pointed. 
Has. Witberg, Drege. Natal country, Dr. Sutherland! Satohi, in bogs, Dr. Kirk/ 
(Herb. D., Hk.) ‘ 
I have not seen Drege’s plant, and describe from Dr. Sutherland's, which may be 
different. Leaves 4-5 in. long, 13-3 l. wide, in one specimen pinnatisect. Scapes 
24-3 in. long. Rays about 15, yellow, with a brown band beneath. 
11. G. Krebsiana (Less.! Syn. 44); nearly stemless ; subradical lvs. 
white woolly beneath, glabrous above, with reflexed edges, petioled, 
linear-lanceolate, entire or some sparingly pinnatifid, the lobes decur- 
rent ; pedune, shorter than leaves, subglabrous ; iny. obconic, intruse 
and truncate at base, glabrous, segments 2-seriate, the outer leafy, nar- 
row-linear, acuminate, ciliate, inner semilanceolate, much acuminate, 
nerved, glabrous, membr. edged. DC. 1. ¢. 509.
