Has. Rocky and dry situations. About Capetown and Wynberg, and in Cale- 
don and Worcester Districts. y. near the Waterfall, Z. & Z./ (Herb. T.C.D, 
Hook., Sond.) : 
Very near P. pinnatum, but a stronger plant, with thicker and more opaque 
leaves, more setose pubescence and narrower and sharper leaflets, disposed to become 
compound. The petals vary in breadth and colour in different specimens, and afford 
no valid characters. 
31. P. pinnatum (Linn.); stemless ; leaves on long villous petioles, 
pinnati-partite, pinnee few or many, ovate or sub-rotund, sub-acute or 
obtuse, thin, alternate or sub-opposite, silky on both sides ; scapes pu- 
bescent and villous, branching; umbels pluri-flowered, with villous 
bracts ; calyx silky, the segments lanceolate, acute, gland-tipped, with 
a narrow margin. Sw. Ger. t. 46. Cav. Ic. t. 115. f. H. astragalifolia, 
E.& Z.! 497, and No. 498. Drege, 7500, 7501. P. vicicefolium, DC.

Has. Near Capetown and Constantia, Z.¢Z., W.H.H. Nieuwekloof, Drege/ 
(Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.). 
Nearly allied to P. astragalefolium, but with thinner, broader and more obtuse 
leaflets and a more silky pubescence. Flowers white or flesh coloured, either veiny 
or with a dark spot on each upper petal. The citation of Eck. & Zey. and of Drege’s 
collections must be cautiously followed, as their tickets, for both species, are mis- 
placed in some herbaria. 
32. P. carneum (Jacq. ! Ic. t. 512); leaves on long, setulose petioles, 
bipinnately divided, segments linear, obtuse, setulose ; scapes simple, 
pluri-flowered ; bracts lanceolate; calyx setulose, the tube 3-4 times 
as long as the lanceolate segments; petals spreading, the upper obovate.

Has. Formerly cult. in Hort. Schoenb. (Herb. Vind. !). 
Petals rosy white, with red veins. DC. quotes “ Cav. Dis. t. 120. f. 1,” but that 
figure ill accords with Jacquin’s specimen, which has much larger flowers. : 
33. P. rapaceum (Jacq. Ic. rar. t. 510); leaves on long, hairy petioles, 
erect, linear (in outline) 4i-pinnati-partite, pinnz numerous, closely set, 
short, softly hairy, multifid, the segments linear or narrow-cuneate, more 
or less cut ; stipules subulate, attenuate ; scapes simple or branched, 
villous, the umbels densely many-flowered and bracts bearded ; calyx 
pubescent, with lanceolate, acute, albomarginate, hair-pointed segments ; 
two upper petals narrow, refleced, 3 lower broader, oblong, connivent, 
straight. DC. Prod. 1. p. 651., also P. nutans, and P. corydalifolium,

Has. On dry, stony, mountain sides, in the Cape, Stellenbosch, and Swellendam 
districts. Frequent near Capetown. (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.), 
This species is readily known by the connivent lower petals, which, with there;
