Has, Between Knysna and Plettenbergsbay, Jan. Dr. Pappe! (Herb. Th.,D.,Sd.) 
Plant 1-2 feet, simple or branched at the top. Leaves sessile, coriaceous, fascicled, 
about 2 lines long, 1 line broad, the lower ones often acuminate and 3 lines long. 
Inflorescence composed of a glomerate panicle, 6-8 lines broad, the flowers sessile or 
on very short hairy peduncle, bracteated by acuminate leaves, nearly as long as the 
calyx. Calyx 3-34 lines long, tube ovate, 1o-nerved, with short hairs. Corolla with 
linear segments. Valves of the capsule 3-4 times shorter than the calyx. __ 
6. L, rubens (Buek ! in E. Z. Enum. p. 373); stem erect, woody ; 
branches spreading, hairy ; leaves alternate, glabrous, erect, linear-lan- 
ceolate, acute ; margins revolute, near the base with 4—6 setaceous teeth; 
flowers fascicled at top of the branches; fascicles 3~12-flowered, densely 
racemose or laxly panicled ; pedicels shorter than the hemispherical 
calyx tube ; calyx lobes subulate, twice shorter than the 5-parted, hairy 
corolla. P. angustifolia. A. DC.! Prodr. p. 418.

An erect, very leafy shrub, 1-2 feet high, with the habit of L. fasciculata, but 
differing by much narrower, erect leaves, with setaceous teeth and revolute i 
and branches, reddish, with greyish pubescence. Leaves often reddish when old, 
mostly in 4 rows, erect or erect-spreading, 2-4 lines long, 4-1 line broad, rigid. 
Fascicles of flowers in some specimens sessile, aggregated in the upper part of the 
branches, in others divided by spreading peduncles and then forming a panicle of 
few-flowered fascicles, Calyx 2 lines long, glabrous ; the lobes equalling the tube, 
but longer than the valves of capsule. Style as long as the corolla. 
7. L, Albanensis (Sond.) ; perennial, stem and branches erect, terete, 
rather tomentose ; leaves erect-spreading, subulate, nearly terete by the 
revolute margins, quite entire or denticulate near the base, glabrous ; 
flowers sessile, forming an ovate spike at top of the branches; tube of 
calyx tomentose, lobes subulate, 3 times shorter than the 5-parted gla-_ 
brous corolla.

Stem nearly 1 foot high, with few mines “alah ee aa Seclcios of 
smaller ones in the axils, 4~6 lines long, sessile, with broader woolly base. Spike 
composed of 6-8 flowers, leafy-bracteated. Calyx 3 lines long, tube shorter than 
the lobes. Segments of the 5-parted corolla linear, a little longer than the minutely 
pubescent style. Stigma trifid. Perhaps a variety of the following. 
8. L. cinerea (Sond.) ; stem and branches erect, woody, as well as 
the base of the leaves, greyish, tomentose ; leaves numerous, sessile, 
erect, appressed, linear-subullate, nearly terete by the revolute margins, 
quite entire or denticulate near the base, greyish; flowers sessile at top 
of the branches, solitary or 4-6 aggregated; calyx woolly, tube obconi- 
eal, nearly equalling the subulate lobes ; corolla 5-parted, twice longer 
than the calyx, hairy. Campanula cinerea, Linn.! Suppl. p. 139.
