6-12 inches high, with subcorymbose, densely leafy and generally very hairy 
branches. The habit is similar to that of M. ciliaris, but the foliage, petals and 
capsule are abundantly different. It is often mistaken in herbaria for M. ciliaris. A 
specimen from Thunberg, in Herb. Holm., establishes the above reference. 
27.? M. Candollei (E. & Z. No. 214.) ; suffruticose, slender, hispid ; 
branches virgate, hispid ; leaves fascicled, the lower ones linear-uncl- 
nate, semiterete, squarrose, mucronate, hairy and ciliate, in subdistant 
tufts ; upper densely imbricate, broadly lanceolate, hook-pointed, flat, 
midribbed, hairy and ciliate, with long, spreading, white hairs ; fl. ses- 
sile among the upper leaves ; sepals 3 of corolla, oval-oblong, mucro- 
nulate ; petals equal to keel, linear, obtuse ; capsule ?—M. Candol-

Of this plant I only know the specimen in Herb. Sonder, collected by Ecklon. 
Whether it be the same as that described by Meisner, who makes no reference to 
Ecklon, I cannot say. To me the plant I have seen looks like a very hairy form of 
M. alopecuroides, with remarkably uncinate leaves. 
28.7 M. Pappeana Sone ; robust, woody, divaricately much 
branched, with villous twigs ; lower leaves linear-spathulate, thick and 
fleshy, round backed, flat above, dotted, obtuse and pointless or minutely 
mucronate ; upper and floral leaves lanceolate, acutely mucronate, the 
younger ones villous ; fl. sessile ; sepals broadly oval, very obtuse, 4 
as long as corolla; petals shorter than keel, broadly linear, blunt ;

A strong-growing but dwarf an with age of M. ota but differing 
in foliage. Having as yet seen but a single imperfect specimen, I propose the spe- 
cies with much hesitation, The younger branches are but just starting, and when 
fully grown would probably assume a different character.
