174 SELAGINER (Rolfe). [Selago. 
Souts AFRICA: without precise locality, Burmann. 
This species probably belongs to the section Evicoidee, but the description is 
totally inadequate to determine its affinity. 
114. S. teucriifolia (Burm. fil. Fl. Cap. Prodr, 17); branched ; 
leaves ovate, serrate ; flowers terminal, sessile. 
SourTH AFRICA: without precise locality, Burmann. 
This may be either S. serrata, Berg., or an allied species, or may not 
belong to the genus at all, for some of Burmann’s species ure now transferred 
elsewhere. 
115. S. Walpersii (Choisy in DC. Prod. xii. 20); stems suberect ; 
branches terete, glabrous; leaves tascicled, sessile, 2 lin. or slightly 
more long ; corolla white, becoming rose-coloured when dried ; tube 
3 lin. long, somewhat curved; fruit as in S. ascendens, E. Meyer. 
S. teretifolia, Walp. Rep. iv. 154, not of Link. 
SoutH ArRica: without precise locality ; described from cultivated specimens, 
This should belong to the section Spuwrie according to the position assigned to 
it by Walpers, but the fascicled leaves would exclude it, and its affinity remains 
quite doubtful. 
116. S. spuria (Lodd. Bot. Cab. t. 391, not of Linn.) ; a small 
erect shrub; branches slender; leaves apparently seldom (if at all) 
fascicled, linear, entire, 2-31 lin. long; spikes oblong, about 1 in. 
long; corolla lilac-purple; tube slender. Choisy in DC. Prod. 
xii. 10, in syn. 
SoutH AFRIcA: without precise locality, described from a cultivated 
specimen, 
This is not S. spuria, Linn, Choisy cites it doubtfully under S. cinerea, but 
his plant of that name is 8. polystachya, Liun., and the figure is wanting in the 
details which would enable the point to be settled. 
117. S. comosa (E. Meyer, Comm. 255); branches elongate, 
flexuose, pubescent; leaves oblong, obtuse, imbricate, glabrous, with 
the midrib thickened below ; spikes elongate, flexuose, bracts oblong- 
lanceolate, hirsute; calyx hispidulous ; lobes acuminate, the posterior 
somewhat exceeding the others. #. Meyer in Drége, Zwei Pflanwn- 
geogr. Documente, 141, 219; Walp. Rep. iv. 150; Choisy in DC. 
Prod. xii. 12. 
Coast ReGion: Bathurst Div. ; among grasses near Kowie River, 400-800 ft., 
Drége. 
I fail to identify this species, though from the position assigned to it by 
E. Meyer, it ought to belong to the section Ericoidee. 
118. S. pterophylla (Otto ex Sweet, Hort. Brit. ed. ii, 415). 
Known by name ouly. 
119. 8. purpurea (Cels, Cat. Arb. et Pl. 1817, 34). Known by 
name only.
