Var. 8 brevipes (H. H. W. Pearson) ; leaflets 14-2 in. long, 4-3 in. broad, on 
canescent petiolules 1-3 lin. long. 
KAatanARI Reeion: Bechuanaland; Banquaketse Territory, on the Malau 
Hills, Holwb ! and Naprstek Hills, Holub! ‘Transvaal; Magalies Berg, Burke, 
73! on the banks of the Crocodile River, Zeyher, 78. Var.8: Transvaal; on the 
northern slopes of the Magalies Berg, near the Crocodile River, Zeyher, 1369 ! 
near Aapies River, Burke! 
The type of this species (Zeyher, 73) is probably the plant which is in the Kew 
and British Museum Herbaria as Burke, 73, and which agrees very closely with 
Schauer’s description. The fact that Burke and Zeyher visited the Magalies Berg 
in company supports this view. 
The Kew specimens of var. brevipes are in an immature state. It is possible 
that more advanced material may justify its separation as a species.
