base, 2-1 lin. long; corolla obconic, with a wide mouth, minutely 
puberulous or pubescent, white or pale ochraceous, 2 lin. long; 
segments erect, rounded, + the length of the tube ; anthers included, 
cuneate-oblong, pale brown, + lin. long, aristate; awns about 2 the 
length of the cell, rough; style included; stigma capitate ; ovary 
glabrous. f

copiously pubescent.

In general appearance and floral structure, this much resembles Z. subdivari- 
cata, Berg. But, besides its 3-nate and more laxly set leaves, it has larger 
flowers, somewhat different sepals, an obconic corolla, and never (so fur as our 
specimens go) quite glabrous. 
135. E. auriculata (Guthrie & Bolus); erect, 6-9 in. high ; 
branches ascending, somewhat straggling, sparingly leafy, with long 
internodes, puberulous, greyish; leaves 3-nate (rarely 4-nate ?) 
ereet or subpatent, mostly distant, narrow-oblong, obtuse, sulcate, 
thick, closely hispidulous, the younger shortly gland-ciliate, about 
3 lin. long; flowers 3-nate ?; pedicels pubescent, about 12 lin. long; 
bracts approximate, unequal, linear, foliaceous, glandular-pubescent, 
the longest about 14 lin.; sepals like the longer bract, 1)~2 lin. 
long ; corolla urceolate, mouth contracted, pubescent, apparently 
white or whitish, 2 lin. long; limb erect, } the length of the tube 
or less ; filaments gradually much expanded and wider at the apex 
than the anther, furnished at the apex with two erect free adpressed 
ear-like lobes, slightly coloured, thickened and fringed with short 
hairs on the outer margin, and covering the base of the anther at its 
back ; anthers included, lateral, inserted on the filament above the 
~ base of the cells, oblong, subacute, nearly ,'; in. long, strictly 
muticous, but apparently cristate by the filamentary processes above 
described ; pore 2 of the cell; ovary softly woolly. 
Cenrrat Recon: Ceres Div.; on the Skurfde Bergen, near Klein Valley, 
5800 ft., Schlechter, 10207! 
A very distinct species, with a filamentary appendage different from any other 
known tous. This appears like an anther-crest, arising in the more usual way 
from the cells, but on dissection it is plainly found to come away with the 
filament. Our material is poor in respect of flowers; but the species is in every 
way well marked. 
136. E. siceefolia (Salisb. in Trans. Linn. Soc. vi. 326) ; suberect, 
straggling, slender, with scanty foliage, 4-8 in. high; branches 
ascending, glabrescent ; leaves 3-nate, spreading-erect, linear, acumi- 
nate, setose-mucronate, mostly curved, sulcate, glabrous, shining, 
. “22-5 lin. long; flowers 3-nate ; pedicels viscid, puberulous, mostly 
curved, about 2 lin. long; bracts subapproximate or remote, small ; 
sepals ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, viscid-pubescent, dark-coloured,
