oblong-linear, obtuse, tapering into a long, flat, glabrous, or somewhat 
hairy petiole, glabrous on the lower surface ; stipules connate into a 
single ovato-lanceolate rather large intra-axillary mece ; scape ascending, 
angulate, roughly hairy, longer than the leaves ; corolla twice as long as 
the calyx. Burm. Afr. t. 75 f. 1. Berg. Cap.p. 81. Thunb. Diss. p. 6.

Stem sometimes scarcely any, sometimes 1-2 inches long. Leaves with their pe- 5 BY 
tiole, 4-6 inches long, the lamina 14-3 lines wide, about as long as the petiole, Crrdlonlsn | 
which is a line wide. Stipules pale, 3-4 lines long, entire or sublacerate at the Sehr 
point. Scape from an ascending base erect, 6-12 inches high. Raceme 6-20 flowered. 
Flowers purple ; pedicels as long as the calyx, or longer. Capsule with 3 obcordate 
valves. It varies with the scape and peduncles more or less slender, hairy or glabrous, 
and flowers larger or smaller. 
ced 5. D. hilaris (Cham. & Schl. Linn. 1. p. 548) ; caulescent, tall ; leaves 
___- spathulato-lanceolate obtuse, narrowed into a wide, tomentose petiole, 
glabrous on the lower surface ; stipules connate into a deeply cut 
setaceo-laciniate intra-axillary piece ; scape erect, or subascending, hairy, 
glandulose above, much longer than the leaves ; corolla thrice as long 
as the calyx. #. & Z. 127. Planch. l.c. p. 201.

: Stem 1-3 inches long, clothed, as well as the leaves, with a reddish tomentum. ie 
Lower leaves at length reflexed, spathulate, 1-2 inches long ; intermediate spreading 
or recurved, somewhat longer ; upper rosulate, about 3 inches long, 3-5 lines wide, all 
with long marginal cilia. Stipules 1}~2lines long, of the colour and substance of 
those of D. ramentacea, adnate to the inner face of the petiole ; in the middleregion — 
of the stem, on account of the petioles being appressed to the stem, they are often 
_ inconspicuous, but easily seen in the upper portion. Scapes 6-12 inches high, hairy, 
and without glands at base, upwards towards the inflorescence glandular, together 
_ with the pedicels, bracts and calyx. Raceme 4-8 flowered, icels 3 lines long, 
bracts minute. Calyx 3 lines long ; sepals broadly ovate, subacute. Corolla dark 
aise 12-15 lines across; petals obovate. Styles 3, bifid at the very base; the 
ches sometimes again bifid, stigmata clavate, emarginate. Near D. Capensis and 
D. ramentacea, with which it agrees in the caulescent habit ; but from both which it 
is readily known (at least when dry) by the denser, more reddish = the 
broader leaves, and the wider and generally shorter tomentose petio. 
6. D. ramentacea (Burch. Cat. Geogr. No. 7692) ; stem elongate, 
covered with old (withered) deflexed leaves; leaves crowded round the apex 
of stem ; the younger erect, with a narrow-obovate lamina, somewhat __ 
hairy on the lower side, half as long as the semi-terete petiole ; stipules 
connate into a deeply cut setaceo-laciniate, intra-axillary piece ; scapes 
from an ascending base erect, much longer than the leaves, glabrous 
below, above, with the calyces and pedicels, glandularly hairy ; corolla 
+ twice as long as the calyx. Planch. l.c. p. 197. 
Var. a, Burchelliana ; stem tall ; petiole glabrous on the upper, stri-

oblong or obovate lamina. D. ramentacea, DC. l.c.p. 318. 
Var. 8. glabripes ; stem tall ; petiole glabrous, about twice as 
lamina. Harv. Thes. t. 26. a wee
