of the point, and closely inflexed on the top of the 1 lin,-long 
staminal column, decurrent at the base into 2 keels; anther-appendages 
orbicular-ovate, very obtuse, inflexed on the top of the truncate 
5-crenate style-apex. Schlechter in Journ. Bot. 1896, 421.

38. §. dissimile (N. E. Br.); stems 5-8 in, high, simple or 
occasionally branched at the base, pubescent, very leafy; leaves 
ascending, opposite below, whorled or alternate above, shortly 
petiolate, 2-1 in. long, 2-43 lin. broad, linear or narrowly oblong, 
acute, truncate or broadly rounded at the base, revolute along the 
margins, pubescent above and on the midrib beneath; umbels sessile 
at the nodes, 3—8-flowered; pedicels 31-5 lin. long, puberulous ; 
sepals reflexed, 11-15 lin. long, 3 lin. broad, gradually tapering from 
the base to the very acute apex, pubescent ; corolla-lobes reflexed, 2-3 
lin. long, 1-11 lin. broad, oblong or elliptic-oblong, acute, with 
more or less recurved margins, thinly pubescent on the back, glabrous 
on the inner face, apparently dark brown or dull greenish-brown ; 
corona-lobes $~1 lin, long (including the teeth), 1 lin. broad, subquad- 
rate, shortly 3-toothed at the top, with 2 central parallel keels, a small 
oblique auricle-like or crested keel from the base of each side tooth, 
and an appendage on the inner face, apparently whitish, with an 
elongated purple-brown median spot on the back ; median tooth 
4-3 lin. long, broadly deltoid, acute; lateral teeth rather shorter, 
faleate, acute, often denticulate on the margin; appendage arising 
slightly above the middle of the lobe, much evertopping the staminal 
column, 13-2} lin, long, subulate, erect at the base, then recurved 
over and far beyond the back of the lobe; staminal column {~1 lin. 
long; anther-appendages transverse, broadly rounded at the tips, 
which are inflexed over the concave style-apex. S. fasciculare,

Var. 8, pubiflorum (N. E. Br.) ; corolla-lobes about 2} lin. long, 1} lin. broad, 
pubescent all over the inner face, thinly pubescent on the apical half at the 
back, otherwise as in the type.

According to a note on the original — in Harvey’s Herbarium, t. 90 in 
the Thesaurus Capensis was made from Mrs. Barber’s 93, but the corona- 
lobes are not complicate as there represented, and the keel down their back I 
have only seen indicated in one specimen (that of Sim), where it may be due to 
the folding of the lobe in drying. In the other specimens I find no trace of it. 
Var. 8 is one of the two plants distributed by Drége- under the name Aspido- 
glossum fasciculare, and was accepted as such by Harvey, but its floral structure 
18 quite different from the type of that species.
