654 ASCLEPIADE (Brown). ( Schizoglossum. 
Coast Recon: Uitenhage Div. ; Addo, Bowie! Drége, 2228! 
This is the Addo plant enumerated by E. Meyer under Lagarinthus gracilis in 
Comm, Pl. Afr. Austr. 206, but is totally different from the plant he described 
under that name. It has the peculiarity of producing flowers nearly all along 
the branches. 
76. 8. Burchellii (N. E. Br.); stem 10-15 in. high, simple, 
4-1 lin. thick, bifariously puberulous, with about 4 pairs of leaves 
below the lowest flowering node; leaves erect or ascending, 14-2 in. 
long, } lin. broad, shorter than or the lower exceeding the }—2% in.- 
long internodes, linear-filiform, acute, with closely revolute margins, 
glabrous; umbels 5-7, sessile, lateral at the nodes, 7-14-flowered ; 
pedicels 2-21 lin. long, adpressed pubescent; sepals ] lin. long, 
lanceolate, very acute, adpressed-pubescent ; corolla-lobes apparently 
ascending with incurved tips, 1-1} lin. long, 3 lin. broad, somewhat 
elliptic-oblong, acute or subacuminate, thinly adpressed-pubescent on 
the back, glabrous on the inner face, apparently dull greenish ; 
corona-lobes subquadrate, contiguous, 3-toothed, with 2 minute 
teeth on the inner face, the quadrate part } lin. long, 3 lin. broad, 
perbaps forming a slight rim behind the middle tooth, which is less 
than } lin, long and inflexed on the } lin.-long staminal column ; 
anther-appendages orbicular, inflexed on the top of and covering the 
style-apex. 
Coast Recron: Riversdale Div. ; between Vet River and Krombeks River, 
Burchell, 7181 ! 
Closely allied to S. filifolivm, but less leafy, the stem and flowers 
dry brownish (not pale greenish), and the corona-lobes have the appendage 
arising at the very apex of the inner face, appearing continuous with the 
lobe or with a scarcely perceptible rim behind it. Burchell only collected 2 
specimens. 
77. 8. Bowkerm (N. E. Br.); stem solitary, simple or with 1 
praneh, very leafy, 43-9 in. high, }-$ lin. thick at the base, 
puberulous all round in all parts, with internodes }-1 in, long, and 
6-8 pairs of leaves below the flowering part; leaves ascending, sub- 
sessile, 1-2 in. long, 4-2 lin. broad, 2-4 times as long as the inter- 
nodes, linear, acute, with revolute margins, puberulous on the 
midrib beneath, otherwise glabrous; umbels 4-10, sessile at the 
nodes, 9-16-flowered ; pedicels 14-24 lin. long, adpressed pubescent ; 
sepals 2—3 lin. long, } lin. broad, ovate-lanceolate, acute, thinly 
adpressed-pubescent ; ecorolla-lobes apparently campanulately spread- 
ing, with incurved tips, 1 lin. long, } lin. broad, oblong, subacute, 
glabrous on both sides or with a very few hairs on the back ; corona- 
lobes about } lin. long and broad, subquadrate, obtuse or subtruncate, 
with a very minute tooth at the shoulders and 2 slight keels decurrent 
from the appendage on the inner face ; appendage inserted slightly 
below the apex of the lobe, which at least forms a transverse Tm 
behind its base, }—} lin. long, linear-deltoid, subacute, incumbent on 
the backs of the anthers or incurving over the 3 lin.-long stam 
column; anther-appendages broadly cuneate-obovate, subtruncate OF 
emarginate, inflexed on the top of the truncate style-apex.
