Coast Reaion: Bathurst Div. ; between Riet Fontein and the seashore,

This, like J. Bowiei, may be arranged merely as a variety of J. petiolaris. 
10. J. spergulefolia (T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soe. vii. 48); 
pubescent; branches 6-10 in. long, undivided; leaves 1 by 5 in., 
linear; spike terminal, 2-31 in. long, of 10-20 flowers, the lower 
4-4 In. apart, only 1 in each pair of bracts developed; bracts 4 in. 
long, narrowly lanceolate ; bracteoles ;4, in. long, narrowly lancevlate ; 
calyx 3 in. long or rather more, 5-partite to the base; segments 
linear-lanceolate ; corolla 1 in. long ; one anther-cell much below the 
other, tailed; pollen ellipsoid, with 2 stopples and 1 row of tubercles 
beside each stopple ; ovary glabrous below, with very long hair at the 
top; capsule 4-seeded (7. Anderson).

This is allied to J. linearispica, C. B. Clarke (in Dyer, Fl. Trop. Afr. v. 192), 
and the large group of J. peploides in India; the constant absence of one flower 
in each pair gives it a marked aspect. 
11. J. capensis (Thunb. Prod. 104); a rather stout shrub, attain- 
ing 3-5 ft.in height; branches quadrangular, densely hairy when 
young, raore or less glabrate in age, not rarely with the 2 opposite 
faces hairy, the alternate glabrous ; leaves 1-21 by 2-1 in., elliptic, 
hairy on both surfaces, becoming glabrate except on the nerves, tip 
rounded, base cuneate ; petiole hardly any ; flowers axillary, distant, 
but often 2-3 under 1 floral leaf, minutely pedicelled, without 
other bract; bracteoles obsolete; calyx 1 in. long, 5-partite to the 
base ; segments linear; corolla 2 in. lung, reddish (Kensit); one 
anther-cell below the other, tailed (in one example the anther-cells 
are nearly at equal height, both equally short-tailed); pollen ellipsoid 
with 2 stopples and 1 row of tubercles on either side of each stopple ; 
pistil glabrous; capsule % in. in length and upwards, 4-seeded ; seeds 
tubercular-rugose. Thunb. Fl. Cap. ed. Schult. 478; T. Anders. in
