1. K. rotundifolia nee, Phil. Mag. 1825. p. 31; glabrous ; stem 
slender, laxly leafy below, naked upwards ; leaves roundish-obovate, . 
obovate or spathulate, subentire or crenulate, tapering at base, sub- 
petiolate ; cymes trichotomous, panicled, the subdivisions flat-topped ;

Stems 1-3 feet high, leafy below ; the upper internodes 5-8 inches apart, with 
smaller and narrower leaves. Lower leaves 1-2 inches long, {-1 inch wide, often 
quite entire, fleshy. Cymes flat-topped, simple or trichotomously panicled, the 
lateral divisons on’ long common peduncles. Pedicels 3-4 lines long. Calyx 1 
line. Corolla 4~s lines long, orange or deep yellow. Iam uncertain whether this 
be Haworth’s plant or not. 
2, K. crenata (Haw. Syn. p. 109); glabrous ; stem robust, laxly 
leafy, the upper nodes distant ; leaves conspicuously petioled, oblong or 
ovate, coarsely crenate ; cyme trichotomous, panicled, the subdivisions 
flat-topped ; bracts and sepals subulate ; lobes of the corolla lanceolate, 
acute. DO.l. ¢. 395. EB. § Z.! 1654. Bot. Mag. t. 1436. Andr. Rep. t. 21.

vegewanting on our specimens ; cauline leaves 2-3 inches long, 1-2 inches 
‘on petioles 1-14 inch in length, bluntly dentate. Cymes somewhat flat- 
topped, dense ; the pedicels 2-3 lines long. Corolla 5 lines long, bright yellow. A 
much larger plant than K, rotundifolia, with long petioles and more evidently 
toothed leaves. 
3. K. hirta (Harv.); stem, leaves, panicle and calyces densely hispid, 
with short spreading rigid hairs ; leaves conspicuously petioled, ovate 
or oblong, repando-crenate; cyme trichotomous, panicled, the subdivi- 
sions flat-topped ; sepals ovate, acute; lobes of the corolla lanceolate.

‘Allied to K. crenata from which it differs in pubescence and the form of the sepals. 
Corolla golden yellow. In pubescence this agrees with K. lanceolata, Pers., but 
differs in foliage. 
Has. Hopetown District, Mr. Andrew Wyley! (Herb. T,C.D.) 
With the foliage of K. thyrsiflora this has the inflorescence of K. crenata and the 
sepals of K. hirta. It is (apparently) a weaker growing plant than any of these, 
with more membranous leaves. Flowers yellow? Described from an imperfect 
specimen.
