continuous with it, apex recurved and nowhere inflexed, rounded or 
obscurely keeled on the back and decurrent as 2 keels on the inner 
face. 
Coast Recion: Paarl or Worcester Div. ; Dutoits Kloof, Drége! 
The specimen upon which I found this very distinct species is the one in 
RB. Meyer’s Herbarium which he quotes from Datoits Kloof under Lagarinthus 
gracilis, but it is certainly not the specimen from which he described that totally 
different species. The corona-lobes are remarkable for the deceptive manner in 
which the very broad appendage appears to be the real point of the lobe.
