Has. Hills near Zwarteberg, Caledon, £. § Z., Drege. Aug. (Herb. Sond.) 
Root tuberous, edible. Stem 6—12 inches, often flexuous. Leaves 4-6 lines long, 
3 line wide. Raceme simple, 2-4 inches long, sometimes branched. FPedicels 2-3 
lines long. Calyx 1 line long ; corolla 4—5 lines. Filaments hairy ; anthers hirsute. 
6. C. linarioides (Presl! E. & Z.! 2437); glabrous or minutely 
pubescent above ; stem erect, branched at the base ; branches diver- 
gent; leaves sessile, linear, narrow, remotely denticulate ; raceme flexu- 
ous ; pedicels longer than the capillaceous entire bracteze, bibracteolate 
at the apex ; calyx-lobes triangular, acute, erect, as long as the short

Quite similar to C. campestris, and only distinct by shorter pedicels, capillaceous 
bracts and calyx-lobes. Leaves 6-12 lines long, about 4 line wide. Raceme uni- 
lateral, 1-4 inches long. Pedicels 1-14 line long, fruit-bearing longer. Flowers 
usually a little smaller than in the preceding, 4 lines long, not much longer than the 
stamens. Capsule half superior, the size of a pea; the base hemisphaerical, 10- 
nerved ; the upper free part acute, as long or somewhat longer than the base, dehis- 
cent by 4 valves. Seeds small, triquetrous. The tuberous, eatable rootis called by 
the Hottentotts ‘“Barroe.” 
7. C, assimilis (Sond.); glabrous; stem erect, simple; leaves ses- 
sile, linear, elongate, narrow, remotely denticulate ; raceme evidently 
pedunculate; pedicels shorter than the capillaceous, entire bractea; 
calyx-lobes lanceolate, subulate, as long or longer than the turbinate 
tube ; filaments as long as the anthers. C. linarwides y. major, Presl. !

8. C. bulbosa (Berg. cap. p. 172) ; root tuberous; stem erect, simple, 
minutely pubescent or subglabrous ; lower leaves palmatipartite, taper- 
ing in a short petiole ; lobes linear-oblong, entire or irregularly 2-fid 
and toothed; upper leaves sessile, deeply 3-7-fid ; flowers spicate-_ 
racemose ; pedicels shorter than the leaf, bibracteolate at apex; calyx- 
lobes lanceolate, 3 times longer than the turbinate tube. Willd. Spec.
