Through the courtesy of Dr. Bolus I have been able to examine a flower from 
the type of S. lamellatwm, and find it to be identical with S. bilamellatum, 
the differences mentioned by Dr. Schlechter being non-existent. Asin the case of 
3. restioides, Schlechter, and S. pedunculatum, Schlechter (=Asclepias aurea, 
Schlechter), I believe it to have been introduced at the Cape locality among 
ballast, &e, 8. bilamellatwm, var. cordylogynoides is merely a form with the 
umbels crowded together into a head,
