former 3-4 lin. long, the latter ?—1 in. long, all acicular, subacute,

A cultivated male specimen in the Kew Herbarium raised from seeds obtained 
from Burchell’s no. 6560 differs somewhat from the wild male plant ; the leaves 
are longer, falcate and sometimes reflexed and pilose just as in the female. 
The plant figured by Andrews (t. 461) shows the male and female flowers on 
the same individual. This, however, never occurs in the genus and the figure was 
evidently made up from plants representing both sexes.
