linear, acute, glabrous, about 1 lin. long; corolla subtubular, marked 
with 8 longitudinal lines, a little over 2 lin. long; segments erect, 
rounded, about 1 the length of the tube; filaments long and slender, 
12 lin. long; anthers sublinear, a little widened towards the apex, 
smooth, nearly 1 lin. long, aristate; pore nearly equal in length to 
the cell; awns strap-shaped, equal throughout, closely approximate 
but free, the points shortly spreading, a little shorter than the cells ; 
style exserted; stigma clavellate, small ; ovary globose, minutely 
hispidulous or glabrous. 
Coast Recion: Worcester Div.; on a mountain, between de Draai and 
Driekoppen, Drége, 7724! in Herb. Berlin. 
We have seen a good specimen of the type of this apparently rare and little- 
known species. It is very distinct and might almost be recognized from 
the anther alone, which is not quite like any other we remember to have 
seen. 
963. E. micrandra (Guthrie & Bolus) ; erect, entirely glabrous, 
except for a slight down on the younger branches, about 1 ft. high ; 
branches mostly straggling or subdivaricate, more rarely ascending 
or suberect, thinly and distinctly leafy, with naked internodes of 
from 1-1 in. long; leaves 3-nate, erect, incurved, never crowded, 
nor (except a few of the youngest) imbricate, linear-semiterete, 
obtuse or subacute, flat above, round-backed, faintly sulcate, 1;—2 
lin. long; flowers 3-nate, corolline ; pedicels slender, about 1 lin. 
long; bracts subapproximate, linear, about } lin. long; sepals 
adpressed, linear, acute, sulcate, foliaceous, sometimes coloured, 
reddish, about $ lin. long, not reaching so high as the corolla-tube ; 
corolla broad-cyathiform, flesh-coloured, about 1} lin. long, 2} lin. 
wide at the mouth when flattened down; segments continuous, 
subsemiovate, broadly-rounded, about equal to the tube; filaments 
capillary ; anthers manifest, basifixed near the ventral margin, 
semiorbicular, ventral margin straight; cells subdistant and divari- 
cate, about ;45 in. long, aristate; pore 3 the length of the cell; 
bent downwards and projecting as an acute 
connective at length 
tooth in front; awns decurrent for less than 2 their length along 
the filament, then free, spreading, subulate, acuminate, the whole 
appendage nearly 2} times the length of the cells; style exserted, 
slender; stigma capitellate ; ovary glabrous. 
Coast Recron: Ceres Div. ; at the foot of the mountains near Ceres, 1700 ft., 
Bolus, 9198! 
This very 
rangularis, with the corol 
peculiar and very small anther alon 
species known to us, except E. pusilla, 
similar and is even slightly smaller; b 
different. 
264. E. Vanheurckii (Muell. Arg. in Van Heurck, Obs. Bot. & 
Plant. Nov., fase. i. 36) ; erect, about 1 ft. high ; branches slender, 
subvirgate, glabrous ; leaves 3-nate, erect or subspreading, mostly 
isti ies has the habit and general appearance of E. quud- 
cose bth la of the § Eurystoma, but very different sepals. Its 
alone distinguishes it at once from every other 
var. 8, the anther of which is curiously 
ut in other respects the plant is very
