582 CAMPANULACE# (Sond.) = [ Wahlenbergia 
with a ring below the 3-fid stigma. The corolla is not tubulose in W. dichotoma, as 
described by Decandolle, but quite the same as in W. parviflora.

naked, few-flowered, glabrous; radical leaves rosulate, ovato-lanceolate, 
shortly petiolate, acute, denticulated, hairy; peduncles dichotomous; 
bractez glabrous ; calyx glabrous, tube hemispherical, lobes triangular,

Has. Cape of Good Hope, Burchell. (Unknown to me.) 
Root simple. Stem erect, 5 inches high, twice dichotomous at top, and nearly 
naked, except the bracteze at the base of the pedicels. Flowers blue? Stigmas 3, 
at the base with some glands. 
39. W. annularis (A. DC. ! Prodr. p. 437); stems erect, branched, 
pubescent at the base, glabrous above; leaves aggregated at the base, 
linear-lanceolate, denticulated, pubescent; bracteze linear, glabrous; 
peduncles dichotomous ; calyx glabrous, tube turbinate, lobes ovate, 
acute, about as long as the tube; corolla broadly infundibuliform, 
deeply 5-fid, 6 times longer than the calyx ; capsule globose, 3-celled. 
Has. Bergvalei. Nov. Drege, 6288. (Herb. D., Sd.) ; 
Annual. 13-2 feet, branches terete, stem-like, forked at top. Leaves numerous 
at the base, scattered on the lower part of stem and branches, 1-2 inches long, 1-2 
lines wide, narrower at the base, minutely toothed ; upper ones on the base of the 
forks, smaller, bract-like, glabrous. Pedicels 1-1} inch long. Corolla 8—10 lines 
broad, blue, lobes broadly ovate, spreading. Style with a tumid ring at the base of 
the rather large 3-fid stigma. Capsule the size of a pea, 10-ribbed ; tube scarcely 
longer than the ovate, acuminate, spreading recurved, calycine-lobes, which are a 
little longer than the obtuse valves of capsule. 
40. W. pauciflora (A. DC.! Prodr. p. 437); stem erect, simple, 
terete, glabrous, ending in a few dichotomous peduncles ; leaves aggre- 
gated at the base, linear-lanceolate, obtuse or apiculate, crenulate, hairy ; 
bractez linear, glabrous ; peduncle elongated ; few-flowered ; calyx gla- 
brous, tube narrow-obovoid, lobes linear, acuminate, corolla broadly 
infundibuliform, 5-fid, one half longer than the calyx-lobes ; capsule 
elongate obovoid. 
Has. Rocky places, Pedroskloof to Liliefontein, 3-4000 ft. Nov. Drege. (Hb. Sd.) 
Distinguished from W. annularis by the ovary and elongated calyx-lobes. Root 
annual, perpendicular, stem 1 foot. Leaves 14 inch long, 2 lines wide, radical and 
on the lower part of the stem, attenuated at the base, subpetiolated, glabrous 
above, with rigid hairs beneath, Peduncle 1-2 inches long. Flowers'as in W. 
annularis, but the calyx-lobes nearly 3 lines long. Ovary 3-celled. Stigmas 3, at 
the base with a tumid ring. Ripe capsule unknown. 
41, W. Namaquana (Sond.) ; stems erect, terete, simple, villous at 
the base, glabrous and naked above; leaves radical, oblong-lanceolate, 
attenuated or petiolate at the base, undulately crenate, acute, villous 
or hairy at both sides; bracte minute, glabrous ; peduncles dicho- 
tomous, elongated, few-flowered; calyx glabrous, tube broadly obcon!- 
cal, lobes lanceolate, acuminate, longer than the tube ; corolla broadly 
infundibuliform, deeply 5-fid, 6-times longer than the calyx-lobes.
