5. M. pseudopatulum (C. B. Clarke) ; nearly glabrous, branches 
1 ft. long (or more), terete, not striated, smooth, the internodes up to 
13-2 in. long; leaves up to 14 by 2 in., linear-oblong (no elliptic or 
subovate leaves except in the variety, latifolia) ; petioles 0-1 in, long ; 
flowers few, scattered ; pedicels 4-1 in. long ; bracteoles 2, 4 in. 
long, oblong, obtuse: calyx hardly 3 in. long, deeply 5-lobed ; lobes 
linear, subacute, puberulous or glabrate; corolla 1-2 in. long; 
capsule 3 in. long, stalked, narrowly ellipsoid, subquadrangular, 
compressed, 2-seeded; seeds discoid, smooth, hard, blotched. 
Gendarussa patula, Drége in Linnea, xx. 200, 
‘Var. 8, latifolium (C. B. Clarke); some leaves on the main stems 1 by 4 in. 
long (similar to those on the type plant); other leaves on the main stem 1 by 
nearly 4 in., elliptic, obtuse, with a definite petiole } iv. long; other leaves on the 
upper branches are 4 by 4 in., obovate-elliptic, ubtuse ; calyx, corolla, capsule 
and seeds as in the type. 
Crntrat Recion: Calvinia Div.; Kamos (near Lospers Flats), 2003-3000

Reinet Div. ; amongst bushes near Graaff Reinet, 2500 ft., Bolus, 61! 
Of the two plants here treated, the material, though scanty, is complete. The 
capsule and seeds, the calyx, the scattered short-pedicelled flowers are similar. 
The short calyx, on a pedicel, resembles very much Justicia patula (which 
Drége determined it to be), from which the capsule and seeds show it to be 
remote, 
6. M. Linaria (C. B. Clarke); minutely pubescent ; branchlets 13 
on the fragment seen, about 6 in. long, 6-8-ribbed, rising in a close 
cluster, but little divided; leaves 1-2 by 1-2 in.; flowers solitary, 
approximated in the upper axils; bracteoles 2, very small, linear ; 
calyx deeply 5-partite, more than } in. long; lobes linear; corolla
