CENTRAL ReGion: Ceres Div. ; Cold Bokkeveld, Schlechter, 8928 ! 
Allied to E. nobilis, to which our var. 8 bears so great an external resemblance 
as often to have been confused with it. It may possibly be a natural hybrid 
between the two species, 
405. E. lanipes (Guthrie & Bolus); the branch before us 7 in, 
long, virgate ; side branches few, erect, straight, swollen at the nodes, 
very pallid, mostly glabrous, or slightly pubescent near the summit 
of the flowering branches; leaves 3-nate, erect, adpressed, slightly 
imbricate, linear-lanceolate, subobtuse, concave above, sulcate- 
keeled, glabrous, 8-3} lin. long; flowers 3-nate, cernuous; pedicels 
decurved, stout, thickened upwards, densely covered with coarse 
woolly barbellate white hairs, 6-7 lin. long ; bracts approximate, large, 
ovate, scarious, coloured, concave, amplexicaul, 3-31 lin. long; 
sepals slightly spreading, ovate, acute, subimbricate at the base, 
cartilaginous, coloured, 4 lin. long; corolla ovoid-suburceolate, not 
much contracted at the throat, glabrous, rosy or lilac, 41-5 lin. long ; 
segments erect (in the dried specimens, probably somewhat spreading 
in the living plant), cordate-ovate, imbricate at the base, acute, 33 
of the tube in length ; filaments broad, rigid, much bent below the 
anther, about 2 lin. long, considerably longer than the ovary ; 
anthers narrow-oblong, subacute, about 1 lin. long, crested; pore 
about 1 the length of the cell; crests obovate, obtuse or truncate 
at their apex, serrulate or variously toothed, inserted above the base 
of the cells, free from the filament, nearly 3 the length of the cells ; 
style straight, angular; stigma clavate-capitellate; ovary smooth, 
pallid, with an apical conical projection. 
Coast Reeion: Caledon Div.? Our only example was a living specimen 
from the Caledon “* Wild-Flower Show,’’ 1896, Herb. Bolus, 6894! 
A very distinet species, with the habit and foliage of § Lamprotis, but with 
floral characters so similar to those of EZ. glawca, though quite uulike in general 
appearance, that they must be placed in juxtaposition. The anther-crests are 
almost those of the latter, but they are placed well above the base of the cell, 
and free, as in EF. nobilis ; while it is immediately known from both by its much 
smaller, erect and adpressed leaves. It is to be regretted that our material 
(though good) is so small; but a fragment sufficient for identification has been 
sent to the Kew Herbarium. 
406. E. papyracea (Guthrie & Bolus); erect, reaching 7-8 ft. 
high (Schlechter); branches stout, rather straight, puberulous ; 
leaves 4-nate, erect-incurved, crowded, densely imbricate, linear- 
subulate, acuminate, keeled, glabrous, 4—5 lin. long ; flowers 4-nate, 
sometimes elustered and umbellate, mostly at length cernuous ; 
pedicels puberulous or villous, 3-4 lin. long ; bracts subapproximate,
