832 ASCLEPIADE (Brown). [ Ceropeyia. 
crowded below and perhaps confluent on the inflated part ; lobes 
about 34 lin. long, linear, searcely dilated at the base, erect, slightly 
curved, connate at the tips, glabrous, apparently purplish tinted 
(flowers wine-red, Conrath) ; outer corona forming 5 small truncate 
pockets less than } lin. deep alternating with the anthers, glabrous ; 
inner corona-lobes } lin. long, linear-spathulate, obtuse, connivent- 
erect, dorsally adnate to the outer corona at the base, glabrous.

Kew is indebted to Mr. Paul Conrath for a portion of the type specimen of this 
species, but I do not find the corolla-tube to be glabrous inside as described by 
Dr. Schlechter, the tubercles are very conspicuous, but the hairs are not easily 
discernible in dried specimens unless viewed against the light by doubling the 
corolla back in water. 
Imperfectly known species. 
35. C.? aphylla (Haw. Syn. Pl. Succ. 13) ; “fleshy ; branches: 
dichotomous, many-jointed, weak, terete ; juice not very milky ; 
leaves stipule-like, about 1 lin. long, and at length almost deltoid, 
adpressed, withering. Schultes, Syst. Veg. vi. 3; G. Don, Gen. Syst. 
iv. 112. 
Soutn Arnica? ex Haworth. 
It is probable that this is not a South African plant. Link and Otto (ce. Pl. 
Select. 43, t. 18) figure C. dichotoma, Haw., from the Canary Isles, under the name 
C. aphylla, but as Haworth describes both species on the same page and was avery 
careful observer of plants, it is scarcely probable that they can be the same species, 
and besides the juice of C. dichotoma is not at all milky. 
36. C. leptocarpa (Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xxxviii. 47) ; stem 
twining, filiform, glabrous ; leaves spreading, scarcely fleshy, 
glabrous ; petiole 24-4 lin. long ; blade 5-10 lin. long, 2-6 lin. 
broad, ovate, lanceolate or lanceolate-elliptic, acuminate ; peduncles 
lateral at the nodes, a little longer than the petioles, few-flowered 
at the apex, glabrous ; pedicels 1} lin. long, glabrous ; sepals } lin. 
long, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, glabrous; corolla slender, 
7 lin. long ; tube ellipsoid-inflated at the base, narrowed above and 
slightly dilating upwards to 1 lin. in diam. at the mouth, glabrous 
outside, sparsely pilose within ; lobes 2 lin. long, linear, obtuse, 
thinly ciliate ; outer corona broadly cup-shaped with semiorbicular 
very obtuse lobes, glabrous ; inner corona-lobes nearly three times 
as long as the outer corona, faleate-erect, rather obtuse, slightly 
dilated at the middle, glabrous ; fruit not described.

The author does not state if the corolla-lobes are free or connate at the tips, 
but as they are described as obtuse they may be free. 
37. C. linearis (E. Meyer, Comm. 194) ; stem twining, glabrous ; 
leaves fleshy, glabrous ; petiole 1-2 lin. long ; blade {7-2 in. long, 
3-3 lin. broad, linear, linear-ovate or narrowly ovate-lanceolate,
