and underside of the large crater-like stigma, which scarcely exceeds 
the anthers. 
Var. 8, breviciliata (N. E. Br.); leaves 3-3? lin. long, broadly ovate, less 
evidently puberulous than in the type, serrate-ciliate with 5-7 very short branched 
hairs on each margin, otherwise as in the type.

There is evidently some error with regard to Schlechter’s numbers 8464 and 
8954, as the plant distributed to Dr. Bolus as 8464 is Simocheilus kloteschianus, 
var. glabrifolius, and identical with 8864 distributed to Kew, whilst the 8464 
distributed to Kew is Scyphogyne rigidula, var. 8, and identical with 8954 in- 
Herb. Bolus, whereas the 8954 distributed to Kew is Erica parviflora, L. 
4. 8. divaricata (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 710); branchlets 
glandular-puberulous or minutely tomentose, mingled with longer 
simple and gland-tipped hairs, greyish; leaves 3-nate, 1-1 lin. long, 
1_1 lin. broad, ovate or linear, flat above, grooved down the very 
convex back, glabrous, sometimes ciliate with 2-3 long gland-tipped 
hairs on each side and one at the apex, sometimes merely serrate, 
with or without a few similar hairs or tubereles on the back ; flowers 
1-3 together, sessile, terminal or axillary, or on exceedingly short 
axillary branchlets racemosely seattered along the branehes; calyx 
2 lin. long, obconic or broadly campanulate, unequally 4-lobed, 
glabrous or puberulous, eiliate, sometimes rather densely, with simple 
and branched hairs and 1 or more of the lobes often with 1 or more 
long gland-tipped hairs ; corolla 1-1 lin. long, campanulate, with 4 
concave, deltoid, acute or rounded lobes, which are sometimes very 
minutely denticulate and glabrous or minutely puberulous on the 
back ; stamens 4, equalling or slightly exceeding the corolla; fila- 
ments and the quadrate anthers connate; ovary puberulous around 
the base of the + lin. long style; stigma large, peltate, just exceeding 
the anthers. Blepharophyllum divaricatum, Klotzsch in Linnea,
