by the reflexed, not densely fascicled, 1}~2 lines long, rigid leaves. Flowers at top 
of the primary and secondary very short branches. Calyx-lobes 3-4 lines long, the 
lateral teeth 4 or nearly 1 line long. Corolla in dried state white or pale yellow- 
ish. The name is a very bad one, but the 2 specimens in herb. £. ¢§ Z. are very in- 
complete. Those collected by Zeyher are much better, but also without fruit.

ones erect, scarcely longer; flowers solitary, terminal ; lobes of calyx 
ovate, acute, broad, nearly entire, scabrous outside, pubescent inside ; 
corolla twice longer than the calycine lobes. 
Has. Bergvalei and Langevalei. Nov. Drege. (Herb., Hook., Sd.) 
Habit of &. bryoides, with the same horizontally spreading, but not reflexed 
leaves. Calyx-lobes 3 lines long, 13 line wide, muricately asperous, sometimes with 
some short teeth on the margin. Corolla deeply 5-fid, lobes oblong. 
5. R. leptosepala (Sond.) ; stem woody ; branches erect, minutely 
pubescent, the ultimate lateral ones very short and terminated by the 
flower ; leaves linear-acuminated, glabrous, remotely ciliate-toothed ; 
floral ones longer, with 2 or 3 subulate teeth on each side, and minutely 
ciliated at the base ; calyx-lobes lanceolate, attenuated in a long, hair- 
like acumen, entire, or with 4—6 tooth-like cilia, and minutely pubescent 
near the base; corolla deeply 5—cleft, as long as the calycine lobes. 
Has. Dutoitskloof. Drege. (Herb., Sd.) 
, Stem 1 foot and more high, branches slender, in the upper part beset with many 
4-1 inch long ramuli, each of which bears a flower. Leaves 3-4 lines long, at the 
base } line wide, much acuminated, not ciliated, in the axils with many smaller ones, 
which are bluntish and mucronulate. Floral leaves not densely imbricated, 5-6 
lines long, filiform at the apex, bractlike, not green ; the lateral filiform teeth long, 
spreading. Calyx-lobes 6-8 lines long, greenish, flat, attenuated in a long point, 
equalling the oblong lobes of corolla. Ovary minutely downy. 
6, R. recurvata (A. DC.! Prod. p.447); stem woody, much branched ; 
branches short, diffuse, very leafy, spreading, hairy ; leaves spreading, 
recurved, linear, mucronate, remotely ciliated-toothed; floral ones a 
little longer, as well as the lobes of calyx recurvate, setaceous-ciliated 
at the base, laciniately-toothed at the apex ; flowers solitary, terminal. 
Has. Cape. Drege, 6323. (Herb., Sd.) 
Near R. ides and R. reticulata, var. prostrata ; distinguished from both by the 
squarrose-recurved floral leaves and calyx-lobes. Leaves 2 lines long. Flowering 
branches 1-2 inches long, Flowers small, bracteze numerous, imbricate, 3-4 lines 
long. Corolla wanting. “ 
7. RB. Eckloniana (Buek ! in E. & Z. enum. 2408) ; stem branched, 
woody, glabrous ; branches ascending, orten secundate, simple or divi- 
ded, minutely pubescent, leafy ; leaves fascicled, spreading, linear, acu- 
minated, entire, ciliated at the base ; flowers terminal, aggregated, each 
of which is subtended by 3 bractez, covering the calyx-tube ; bractez 
broad, cuneate, ciliated at top, laciniately-toothed with a long linear 
acumen ; calyx-lobes lineari-acuminated, entire, glabrous, subrecurved 
at the apex, longer than the bracte ; corolla 5—lobed, as long or 
shorter than the calyx-lobes ; capsule minutely downy.
