24. A. schizoglossoides (Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xviii, Beibl. 
45, 32); stem solitary, simple, 6-12 in. high, slender, puberulous 
bifariously or all round ; leaves in 3-5 distant pairs, erect, 1}-3 in. 
long, }—14 lin. broad, linear, acute, often narrowed into a petiole at 
the base, glabrous, or puberulous above and on the midrib beneath ; 
umbel solitary and terminal, or 2—3 sessile umbels crowded together 
at the apex of the stem with or without 1-2 distant sessile lateral 
umbels below them; bracts subulate, 1-2 lin. long ; pedicels 3-5 lin. 
long, pubescent or puberulous; sepals 1} lin. long, 3 lin. broad, 
es 
lanceolate, acute, pubescent ; corolla-lobes spreading, 21-3 lin. long, 
11-13 lin. broad at the middle, elliptic, subacute, glabrous on both 
sides, yellow; corona-lobes arising about } lin. up the staminal 
column, erect, apparently deep orange-coloured, compressed-cucullate, 
subquadrate viewed sideways, obliquely and narrowly wing-margined 
at the base, truncate at the top, obtusely angular but not produced 
into distinct teeth at the apex of the sides, which do not incurve or 
meet at their edges, within and adnate to the apex of the lobe arises 
a much flattened deltoid-oblong very obtuse erect process, usually 
shortly exceeding the lobe ; staminal column 1-1} lin. long ; anther- 
appendages transverse, subreniform, obtusely rounded, inflexed 
on the rather acutely edged rim of the depressed-truncate style-apex.

Altbough originally described nearly 60 years ago, this species does not appear 
to be very common, and has remained unidentified with Turezaninow’s plant until 
now. I am indebted to Dr, Schlechter for flowers from his type of A. schizo- 
glossoides, which agrees with all the specimens above quoted ; the locality and 
collector were omitted on publication, but Dr. Schlechter informs me that it was 
collected by ‘Mrs. Barber, probably in British Kaffraria,” so it probably # 
part of her gathering 35.
