Cyphia. | CAMPANULACES (Sond.) 601 
4 lines long, half superior, the upper free part ovate acute, longer than the hemis- 
pherical, 10-nerved lower part or tube, dehiscing by 4 acute valves. Seeds com- 
pressed, angular, subtriquetrous, glabrous, minutely punctate, nearly 1 line long. 
9, C. elata (Harv. Thes. Cap.t. 160); minutely pubescent or glabrous ; 
stem erect, simple, leafy ; leaves sessile, oblongo-lanceolate, acute, denti- 
culate ; flowers subsessile, disposed into a dense-flowered terminal leafy 
spike ; calyx-lobes lanceolate, deeply incised or pinnatifid, separated 
by the lanceolate minutely pubescent or subglabrous petals. 
Var. y. glabra; (Harv.), stem, leaves, bractez, and calyx glabrous; petals sub- 
pubescent inside. 
Haz. Draakensberg, Orange Free State, 7. Cooper, 1087. Var. 8. Port Natal, 
Gerrard and M’Ken., 1462. (Herb., D.) 
Stem 3-4 feet high. Leaves coriaceous, veined beneath, with subrevolute acutely 
denticulate margins, 2-24 inches long, 6-8 lines wide, the upper smaller. Brac- 
tez ovate-acuminate, including 1 or several flowers or a few-flowered spike. Calyx- 
tube turbinate with 2-4 linear-lanceolate ciliated bractez, lobes of calyx 3 times 
— than the tube. Petals narrow, 4 lines long. Filaments hairy, anthers 
pid. 
10. C. oblongifolia (Sond. and Harv.) ; minutely hairy, subglabrous 
at the base ; stem erect, simple, leafy; leaves sessile, oblong, obtuse, 
apiculate, crenulate-toothed ; flowers disposed in a terminal spike; 
bractese serrato-incised; calyx-lobes lanceolate, with 2 or 4 tooth-like 
cilia, scarcely longer than the lanceolate, bearded petals. 
Has. Ingoma, Port Natal, Ger. and M’K. 1463. (Herb., D.) 
Very nearly allied in habit and characters to C. elata. Lower leaves 11 inch long, 
6 lines wide, the upper gradually smaller and more acutely denticulate, leaves alter- 
nate, including one fiower. Bractez equalling the sessile flower. Petals very nar- 
row, 3-4 lines long, bearded by white hairs inside. 
11, C. Gerrardi (Harv. Mss.) ; pubescent all over ; stem erect, simple 
or branched above, leafy ; leaves sessile, cordate or ovate cordate, acute, 
serrato-dentate ; flowers aggregated in the axils of the bractea, forming 
an elongated, leafy, many flowered spike, sometimes’ branched at the 
base ; bracteolae linear, longer than the pedicels ; calyx-lobes linear 
acuminate, with some cilia-like teeth, much longer than the tube ; 
petals narrow, scarcely longer than the calyx-lobes. 2 
Has. Ingoma, Zulu, Port Natal, Ger. and MK. 1461, 1464. (Herb., D.) 
4-6 feet high. Cauline leaf—only one seen—3 inches long, 2 inches wide, coria- 
ceous, veined beneath, multidentate. Upper leaves much smaller, cuspidate. Brac- 
tee ovato-acuminate, about as long as the fascicles of flowers. Calyx tube 1 line, 
the lobes 2-2} lineslong. Petals lanceolate, acuminate, and recurved at apex, hairy. 
12. ©. corylifolia (Harv., Thes. Cap. t.161); branches climbing, angu- 
late-striate, minutely pubescent ; leaves petiolate, broadly ovate, acute, 
cuneate at the base, serrato-dentate, glabrous ; flowers disposed into an 
elongated remote-flowered spike, the lower fascicled in the axil of the 
leaves, the upper geminate or solitary with lanceolate or linear bractez ; 
calyx-tube turbinate, hairy, 3-times shorter than the linear-lanceolate 
1—3-dentate lobes; petals lanceolate, subglabrous, one half longer than 
the calyx.
