Our description is taken from a garden specimen, which agrees perfectly "with the 
figure above quoted, and also with Schrader’s original in Herb. F Berol, Ecklon’s H. 
muricata, of which I have seen only a very bad specimen, belongs either to this 
species or to H. dryadifolia. H. verrucosa, E. & Z., from the Karroo, between 
Beaufort and Graaf Reynet, seems very similar ; to judge by a fragment in Herb.

20. H. dryadifolia (Harv.); suffruticose, slender, diffuse ; ie@ighos 
hispid with spreading, white bristles; leaves petiolate sub-distant, ob- 
long, obtuse, inciso-sinuate or pinnatifid, ciliate, sparsely hispid or gla- 
brescent above, albo-tomentose below ; stipules amplexicaul, cordato-cus- 
pidate; peduncles racemose-paniculate, filiform, longer than the leaves, 
2-flowered near the summit; bracts ovato- lanceolate ; calyx campanu- 
late, pubescent, the 5 teeth deltoid-acuminate, with rounded inter- 
spaces; petals twice as long as the calyx, the claw longer than the 
limb; filaments cuneate, longer than the anthers; ovary ovoid, pu- 
bescent, Mahernia dryadiphylla, E. & Z. | 400.

Very near H. hirsuta, but with more deeply divided, sinuate (not toothed) leaves ; 
perhaps a mere variety. Its stamens are clearly those ‘of a Hermannia, and 80 is the 
habit. : 
21. H. orophila (E. & Z.! 369); suffruticose, erect; branches sca- 
brous with stellato-piliferous tubercles; leaves tapering at base into a 
short petiole or sub-sessile, cuneate, truncate, toothed at the extremity, 
green, ciliate and stellato-scabrous on both sides; stipules lanceolate- 
subulate; peduncles aggregate at the ends of the branches, short ; bracts. 
numerous, subulate, longer than the pedicels; calyx 5-angled, i ‘ 
thin, stellato-pubescent, semi-5-fid, segments ovate, mucronulate ; pe- 
tals not much exceeding the calyx, the ciliate claw shorter than the 
broadly oblong limb; filaments linear, ines than eascagil anthers ; 
ovary downy.
