Habit of P. paniculatus. It differs by the elongate, more divided panicle, with 
filiform or capillary, erectish peduncles, smaller calyx and corolla, with longer 
tube. Leaves about 6 lines long, 4 line wide ; in var. y. more rigid and subglabrous. 
Flowers mostly pedunculate. Calyx-lobes 1-14 line long. Corolla with ovate, acute 
lobes, 3-4 times longer than the calycine lobes. Capsule {—-1 inch long. 
6. P. brevilobus (A. DC.! Prod. p. 443); branches woody at the 
base, minutely downy, paniculated and glabrous above ; leaves erect, 
linear, narrow, subconcave, entire, mucronulate, subciliated; peduncles 
naked, erect, slender, dichotomously panicled; bracteze minute, linear, 
subciliate ; calyx glabrous; lobes lanceolate, acute, much shorter than 
the tube; corolla 3~4 times longer than the calycine lobes. 
Has. Hills near Bergrivier, Drege. Paarl. Rev. W. Elliott, Aug. (Hb. Hk., D. Sd.) 
Habit and panicle as in P. subulatus, but the leaves are erect, subappressed, not 
fascicled, about 1 inch long, not 4 line wide, subtrigonous, beset from the base with 
very short cilia, The flowers or the whole purplish panicle is thesame as in P. su- 
bulatus, in which the tube of calyx is also constricted under the lobes. Tube of 
corolla twice longer than the calyx. Capsule 4-1 inch. I have not seen a speci- 
mien with quite glabrous branches, 
7. P. fruticosus (L’Her Sert. Angl. p. 2); stem minutely downy, 
subwoody at the base, glabrous above; leafy in the middle; leaves 
narrow, linear, acute, erect, flat above, ciliate at the base ; margins 
revolute; flowers few, racemose, or dichotomously subpanicled ; brac- 
tee minute ; calyx glabrous; lobes ovate, acute, or subacuminate ; 
corolla infundibuliform, §-cleft to the middle. A. DC. Monog. p. 169. 
Prod. p. 444. EH. §& Z. 2395. Campanula fruticosa, Herb. Banks. 
Has. Table Mountain and in Hottentottsholland, F.§Z. Dec. (Herb. Sd.) 
Stem 1 foot, branches simple, ending in a naked few-flowered raceme. Leaves 
8_to lines long, nearly 1 line wide, nearly glabrous, with a few short cilia at the 
base. Pedicels 2-4 lines long (DC.), in our specimens 4-1 inch, Tube of calyx in 
the specimen of Herb. Banks only 2 lines, in ours 3-4 lines long. Lobes erect, 
_, entire, 1 line long. Lobes of corolla acute. Capsule cylindrical, angulate-striate. 
It may be regarded as a few-flowered, broad leafed variety of P. breviiobus. 
= Pved A Ecklonii,(A. D.C. ! Monog. p. 168); stem woody, branched; 
_. branches minutely downy, very leafy at the base, ending in a neasly 
naked, loose, glabrous spike ; leaves erect, linear-acuminate, entire, 
“glabrous, with revolute margins ; flowers sessile, remotely spiked ; 
bractez subulate, base larger than the leaves, quite entire; 
calyx glabrous, lo ear-lanceolate, shorter than the 5-fid, broadly 
infundibuliform corolla. Prod. p. 444, E. & Z. 2396. P. fruticosus, 
Eckl, pl. exs. olim, not of I’ Her. — ¢

near Genadenthal, EZ. ¢ Z." Feb. (Herb. Sd.) J 
A subshrub, 1-2 feet high ; branches erect, simple, straight, terete, greyish, 
velvety. Leaves numerous at the base, rare from the middle, but not smaller, 
rigid, 6-8 lines long, 1 line wide at the base ; raceme 6-8 flowered, flowers solitary 
in the axil of a leafy, glabrous bractea, which incloses 3 smaller bracteole ; uppe? 
flowers subapproximate, the lower ones distant about 1 inch. Calyx-tube at flower- _ 
ig time equalling thevbractea ; the lobes of the same length. Corolla 5-fid to —
