Coast Rrcion: Caledon Div.; on the Zwart Berg, near the warm baths, 
Paterson, Masson! Niven! Also cultivated specimens ! 
A very distinct and handsome species; now, apparently, so rare, that we 
have heard of no collector since Niven’s time, about the early part of the 
19th century. Bentham placed it in a special section, Platyloma, but the 
grounds for separation from § Ewryloma appear insufficient.

erect-spreading, imbricate, linear, 2-82 lin. long; umbels copious, 
3-6-flowered ; pedicels 4-7 lin. long ; bracts remote, linear, 23-3} 
lin. long; sepals linear-lanceolate, acuminate, red with a green 
nerve, 3-52 lin, long; corolla subampullaceous, much inflated below,

9—20 lin. long; segments ovate, acute or acuminate, stellato-patent, 
92-5 lin. long ; filaments very narrow at the base, widened upwards
