Described from a single leaf, and a scape in Herb. Ecklon. It seems to agree, ex- 
cept in the form of the leaf, which Thunberg calls ‘‘ elliptical,” with Thunberg’s de- 
scription, and differs from ts longifoliwm chiefly in pubescence. The hairs, wherever 
they occur, are rigid, very long and spreading. Zeyher’s 172, from the Berg River 
, Cie Hook., Sond. ), though not quite the same, is nearer to this than to anything

hispid on both sides ; stipules adnate, subulate, hispid ; scapes pubes-

bracts ; calyx sub-sessile, the tube pubescent, thrice as long as the linear,

sub-entire, densely and rigidly hairy on both surfaces; stipules subulate; 
scapes elongate, branched, patently hispid, the umbels few (4-6) flowered, 
with subulate, pilose bracts ; calyx tube hispidulous, 3-4 times as long

This has almost exactly the inflorescence of the following species, but the leaves 
are excessively hirsute on both surfaces, more so than in any other, except perhaps 
some forms of P. hirsutum, a species with very dissimilar flowers and sepals.

known) on long, prcbng petioles, ir eg —_ glabrous, sub- 
ciliate (?); scapes patently hispid, branched ; wmbels 4-8-flowered, with 
ovato-lanceolate, setose bracts; calyx tubes sparsely hispid, 3-4 times

stamens 5, very long, declinate ; petals broadly obovate.
