Sender has caused some confusioUj in the first place by placing under this species 

 Zeyher, 1500, from the Magalisberg Range. This plant is a bearded species 

 {Z€ijhcr, 1500, in Herb. Stockh., and partly in Herb. Kew), and is now referred to 

 T. Barhei, A. W. Hill. In the second place he suggests that T. angulosum, 

 A.DC.j is, according to the description, identical with T. raccmosum,
