the lower somewhat open-backed, setaceous-pilose, with long spread- 
ing tubercle-based hairs, glabrescent but the tubercles persistent, 
2-83 lin. long ; flowers sub-3-nate; pedicels pubescent, about 23 lin.

Coast Reeron : Swellendam Div. ; slopes of the Lange Bergen near Swellen- 
dam, about 3000 ft., Bolus, 8088 ! 
The long hairy indumentum gives some resemblance to E. fausta and E. 
setosa ; but it may be known from both by its less expanded leaves, and 
especially by its sharply cuneate acute anthers. 
131. E. dysantha (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 674); branches 
straggling, slender, 12 in. or more long, red, shortly pubescent and 
also pilose with longer hairs ; leaves 3-nate, squarrose, linear, sulcate 
below, hispid, ciliate, over 1 lin. long; flowers 3-nate ; pedicels less 
than 1 lin. long; bracts approximate, one foliaceous, the others 
small, linear, pilose; sepals lanceolate, acuminate, pilose, 1} lin. 
long; corolla urceolate, mouth only slightly contracted, pilose with 
long stiffish hairs, nearly 2} lin. long; limb erect, 4 the length of

straight; anthers just included, oblong, very obtuse, less than } lin. 
long, with two very short squarrose tooth-like appendages at the

Coast Reraron: Riversdale Div.; on the slopes and summit of Kampsche 
Berg, Burchell, (093! 7119! 
A well-marked species which seems to have evaded observation before 
Burchell’s time (1814) and since. Except for its almost shaggy corolla it 
might go into § Ceramia.

erect, 1 ft. or more high; branches spreading, flexuous; leaves 
3-nate (3-4-nate, Bentham), erect or spreading, linear, acute, sulcate,
