a CAMPANULACE (Sond.) | Lobelia. 
24, L. fervens (Thunb.! Fl. Cap. p. 183); glabrous; stem erect or 
ascending, angular, rather branched ; branches compressed, narrowly 
winged; leaves serrulated ; lower ones obovate or ovate-oblong, shortly 
petiolate ; upper ones ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, attenuate at the 
base, sessile ; pedicels axillary, racemose, shorter or about as long as the 
linear bractez ; calyx-tube ovoid-obconical, equalling the linear lobes ; 
corolla 3 times longer than the calycine lobes; capsule obovoid, acute 
at the base. Rap. fervens, Presl, Prod. p.30. Lobelia Petersiana, hu- 
milis, pterocaulon, et subalata, Klotzsch! in Peters. Mozamb. 
Van. 6, asperulata ; branches and leaves with scattered hairs; pedicels and calyx 
hispid. Lobelia asperulata, Klotzch ! tl. c. 
Has. Cape of Good Hope, Thunb. (Mozambique, and var. 8. Zanzibar, Dr. Peters.) 
(Herb. Thunb., reg. Berol.) 
Root annual. Stem 4-1 foot and more high. Branches filiform. Leaves alter- 
nate, 1 inch long, 2-3 lines wide, the lower ones smaller, but evidently petiolate. 
_Bractez linear-lanceolate, the uppermost linear, minutely toothed or entire. Pedicels 
3-6 lines long. Flowers blue. Calyx-lobes 1 line, corolla 4 lines long. Capsule 
3-4 times shorter than the calyx-lobes. It has some resemblance to L. anceps. 
25. L.? muscoides (Chamiss! in Linnea, v. 8, p. 215); herb small, 
slender, trailing, quite glabrous; stems filiform, rooting at the nodes ; 
leaves roundish, deeply’ 5-7-cleft, truncate or cuneated at the base ; 
lobes elliptic or obovate, acute, mucronulate ; petioles as long or shorter 
than the leaves; pedicels axillary, ebracteate, erect, much longer than 
the leaves; calyx-tube shortly obconical; lobes ovate, acuminate. DC. 
Prod. p. 378. Rap. muscoides, Presl! Prod. p. 22, excl. syn. L, minuta. 
Has. Highest mts. of Zwellendam, Mundt, Zey. April. (Herb. reg. Berol., Sd.) 
Herb densely tufted, pale green ; branches 2-4 inches long. Leaves 2-4 lines 
long or smaller. Calyx scarcely 1 line long. Corolla purplish, 2 lineslong. [ 
have only seen a few and not very perfect flowers, in one of which I observed a 
3-parted corolla, with 2 distinct petals, representing the upper lip ; the lower lip is 
3-fid. It may be the type of a new genus or a Dobrowskya. 
26. L, cyphioides (Harv.! in Thes. Cap. t. 162) ; stem scape-form, 
striated, glabrous; leaves radical, obovate, narrowed at the base or on 
very short petioles, obtuse, appressed-hairy, paler beneath ; flowers 
forming an elongate, secundate raceme; pedicels very short, equalling 
the linear bractes ; calyx-tube obconical, shorter than the linear lobes; 
corolla one-half longer than the calycine lobes. 
Has. Cape of Good Hope, Lahaie. (Herb. D.) 
Annual, exactly resembling Cyphia Phyteuma, with the inflorescence of Z. spicata. 
Leaves 13-2 inches long, 1-14 inch wide, entire or obscurely crenulated. Scape 
with one small leaf near the base, 1 foot high, the spiked raceme 4 inches long. 
Flower 3 lines long. Lobes of the upper lip erect, linear-acuminated ; lobes of the 
lower lip ovate, acute. 
(Doubtful species. ) 
_L. Breynii (Lam. Dict. 3. p. 588); glabrous; stems procumbent, 
simple; leaves sessile, lanceolate, serrate, acute, thickish, usually uni- 
lateral; flowers axillary, racemose; pedicels short, topped by the 
ovate-lanceolate bractese; tube of calyx hemispherical, shorter than 
the linear lobes; corolla (blue) 4 times longer than the calycine lobes,
