wings delicately membranous, with prominent, netted veinlets. Seeds blackish, sub- 
pyriform ; embryo with little albumen. 
12. Z. maculatum (Ait. Hort. Kew. 2. p. 60) ; shrubby ;_ branches 
terete, furrow-striate ; leaves bifoliolate, shortly petiolate ; leaflets 
linear-lanceolate or linear, obtuse, somewhat narrowed at base ; stipules 
short, acute ; filaments twice as long as the fimbriato-ciliate scales ; 
ovary 5-angled. 
Has. Pinaarskloof, Zeyher / May. (Herb. Sond.), 
Branches herbaceous, alternate, erecto-patent, six inches or longer, with shorter 
branchlets. Internodes in the la:ger branches 1-1} inch long, in the branchlets 
6-8 lines. Petioles 4-1 line long, with a sharp, recurved point. Leaflets (of the 
branchlets) 4-6 lines long, 3-1 line wide. FI. axillary, solitary, 4-5 cleft, the pe- 
duncles equalling or excelling the leaves. Sepals ovate, two lines long, at length 
reflexed, persistent. Petals obovate, five lines long, yellow, with a heart-shaj 
red spot at base, and (according to Aiton) a transverse red line above the spot in 
the three upper petals. Stamens half as long as the petals. Style subulate. Cap- 
sule wanting.—Although I have not seen an authentic specimen of Aiton’s plant, I 
doubt not ours is the same. It much resembles Z. spinoswm, L., but differs in se- 
veral points.
