upper branches are very distinctly articulate, bent and flexuous, and irregularly 
forked. The plant turns black in drying. Not found since Thunberg’s time. There 
are good specimens of it in the Upsal Herbarium, marked R. retrofracta. 
21. R. (Caminotropis) diffusa (Thunb. ! Prod. p. 123); diffuse or 
procumbent, with slender, filiform branches ; leaves scattered, the low- 
est obovate, cuneate at base, sub-obtuse or mucronate, upper (much 
smaller and sometimes opposite) ovato-lanceolate or oblong, acute ; 
flowers at the ends of the branchlets, on short pedicels, small; calyx 
oblique, the upper and lateral segments triangular, acuminate, distant, 
lowest subulate, as long as the tube; carina fornicate ; legume broadly 
oblong, on a long stipes. 2. retroflexa and R. diffusa, Benth.! Lond.

Root thick and woody, deeply descending, emitting from the crown many trailing 
or diffusely Se. slender, terete, patently much branched stems. Lower 
leaves broadly cuneato-obovate, t-14 inch long, 4-3 inch wide, thin, midribbed and 
somewhat veiny ; upper and especially the uppermost mostly lanceolate, 4-1 inch 
long, and 1-3 lines wide. Flowers sub-terminal, 2-3 lines long. Our specimens 
from Zwartland precisely agree with those in Herb, Thunberg, and also with “ R. 
retrofleca,” Drege ! non Thunb. 
22. R. (Caminotropis) spicata (Thunb. ! Fl. Cap. p. 564) ; slender; 
stems angular, sub-simple, incurvo-erect ; leaves scattered, linear- 
lanceolate, acute or acuminate, veinless; flowers small, in a dense, leafy, 
pseudo-raceme; peduncles axillary, one flowered, nearly as long as the 
leaf, with a pair of leafy bracts near the summit ; upper and lateral 
calyx-teeth triangular, acute, lowest subulate, shorter than the tube ; 
carina fornicate, obtuse’; legume stipitate, 2 seeded. DC. Prod. 2. p. 119.

Many stemmed, 12-14 inches high, simple or branched from the base only. Pe- 
duncles (simple, one flowered, two-leaved flowering branches) about an inch long, 
crowded toward the end of the stem, for the space of 2—3 inches, each from the axil 
of aleaf. Leaves 1-14 inch long, 1-2 lines broad. The foliage is nearly that of R. 
angulata ; the inflorescence that of R. Thu it ; but the calyx and corolla those of
