Rehmann, 3854, labelled Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony, is evidently 
wrongly localised. It belongs to the variety linearis. Rehmann collected other 
material of this variety in Worcester and Sutherland Divisions. 
Galpin, 2608, from Andriesberg, Queenstown Division, has flowers with a very 
short much inflated corolla-tube. It may be a distinct species. In foliage it is 
nearest var. linearis. 
It is doubtful whether there are any constant differences between varieties 
8 and y and between them and the type. Baur, 870, MacOwan, 1581, and Bolus, 
1847, placed here with var. foliosa, are intermediate between the broader-leaved 
forms of var. linearis and the type specimens of var. foliosa, 
38. 8. Burchellii (Benth. Lab. 561); an erect branched under- 
shrub 4 ft. high, densely white stellate-tomentose, almost floccose 
on the younger branches ; leaves subsessile, oblong-lanceolate or 
lanceolate, the lower up to 3 in. long and 6 lin. broad, somewhat 
acute, narrowed at the base, serrulate-crenulate, more or less 
floccose-tomentose, somewhat green ; upper leaves similar but smaller 
and whiter, longer than the flowers ; whorls 6-12-flowered, distinct 
but rather close together at the ends of the branches ; calyx tubular- 
campanulate, about 3 lin. long, more or less distinctly 2-lipped, 
densely floccose-tomentose outside and on the upper part inside ; 
tube about 2 lin. long; upper lip slightly longer than the lower, 
3-toothed ; lower lip 2-toothed ; teeth lanceolate, 4-1} lin. long or 
sometimes minute, thick, obtuse or acute, the lower longer than the 
upper, spreading; corolla 44 lin. long, sulphur-yellow, tomentose 
outside ; tube 2} lin. long ; upper lip elliptic, 14 lin. long, entire ; 
lower lip 24 lin. long ; median lobe suborbicular, 1} lin. long, nearly 
2 lin. broad ; lateral lobes 3 lin. long, slightly broader, rounded.

39. 8. Lamarckii (Benth. Lab. 562); a rather robust branched 
undershrub, very densely white-woolly-tomentose especially on the 
younger parts, glabrescent on the older branches ; stem decumbent 
at the base, then erect ; leaves shortly petiolate or subsessile, oblong- 
elliptic, sometimes ovate or lanceolate, 1-13 in. long, }-1} in. broad, 
obtuse, often minutely apiculate, cuneate-rounded at the base, 
crenate or serrate, thick, very rugose ; petiole 14—4 lin. long ; bracts 
similar to the leaves, longer than the calyx ; pedicels 1-14 lin. long ; 
whorls 6- to many-flowered, several, distant or the upper approxi- 
mate; calyx tubular-campanulate, 41-44 lin. long, very densely
