52 ERICACE® (Guthrie & Bolus). [ Hrica, 
scarious, ciliate, pallid, 21-3 lin. long; corolla trumpet-shaped, from 
a narrow base widening upwards, straight or curved, nerved, glabrous, 
dry, pale-primrose, about 9-10 lin, long; segments erect, ovate or 
oblong, obtuse, about + the length of the tube ; filaments linear, 
about 1 lin. wide, slightly widening and becoming reddish-brown at 
the apex, with a small tooth-like projection on either side below the 
anther; anthers subexserted (in our specimens which may probably 
not be quite mature), oblong, subobtuse, cells becoming somewhat 
divaricate, about 12 lin. long, pore 2 as long as the cell; style 
subexserted or manifest; stigma turbinate; ovary subobconic, 
glabrous. 
Coast Reason: Ladismith Div. ; on rocky mountain slopes of the Klein 
Zwartebergen, near Seven Weeks Poort, 3250 ft., Marloth, 2937 ! 
This has the habit of Z. Banksia, but more nearly the floral structure of F. 
viridiflora, yet is well distinguished from either. It is one of the few species 
which straggle far inland, the only known station being about 70 miles from the 
nearest coast. It bears a remarkable superficial resemblance to HE. Mawimiliani, 
which grows not far from the present, but still further (83 miles) from the sea. 
The habit of the two is different, but a small frustule of either may be easily 
mistaken for the other. The anthers afford a ready means of distinction. 
9. E. viridiflora (Andr. Heathery, t.299); 3-4 ft. high; branches 
ascending, stout; leaves erect-spreading, imbricate, linear, acute, 
glabrous, 21-4 lin. long; flowers cernuous; pedicels 14 lin. long; 
bracts lanceolate, acute, scarious, 3-4 lin. long; sepals like the 
bracts, but acuminate, ciliate, 4-6 lin. long ; corolla-tube equal or 
widening upwards, glabrous, dry, green, 11-13 lin. long ; limb erect 
or spreading; segments oblong, 21 lin. long; filaments narrow, 
iin, wide ; anthers sublateral, spreading, linear, with a short spread- 
ing appendage at the base, or more rarely muticous; ovary glabrous.

E. clarata, Audr., differs chiefly from having been described and figured from 
a plant not fully developed, except as to its muticous anthers, in respect of which 
it is probably variable. : 
10. E. sphenanthera (Tausch in Flora, 1839, 626); leaves 
4-nate, erect, linear, acute, glabrous, + in, long; inflorescence 
axillary, below the ends of the branches, secund ; flowers cernuous ; 
pedicels 1 lin, long; bracts approximate, ovate, acuminate, scarious, 
nerved, rigid, glabrous, 2} lin. long; sepals ovate, cuspidate, keel- 
tipped, scarious, rigid, glabrous, coloured, 4 lin. long ; corolla tubular, 
glabrous, dry, 10} lin. long, including the erect obtuse 22 lin. long 
limb-segments ; anthers exserted, subterminal, linear, apex obtusely 
rounded, muticous, 1}~2 lin. long; ovary glabrous.
