oblong, villoso-ciliate, all sub-carinate, with incurved points; umbels

Haz. Zwarteberg, at Vrolyk, in wet, mountain places, Drege/ Aug. (Herb. Sond.) 
_ Very like the preceding, from which it may be known by the much narrower (2 
lines long, 3 line wide) rameal leaves, not cordate at base, villous, especially toward 
the point, the shorter pedicels, the fertile filaments altogether glabrous, the rather 
longer sterile, and the style longer than the stamens. 
5. A. leptospermoides (Sond.); twigs downy; leaves all equal, ovate 
keeled, gibbous under the point, the younger villoso-ciliate, the umbels 
axillary and lateral; pedicels 2-bracted at base; calyx lobes ovate, ob- 
tuse; petals elliptic-oblong; sterile filaments villous ; style pilose. A.

Jan. (Herb. Lehm., Sond.) 
A shrub, several feet high, with 2-3-chotomous, reddish, leafy branches. Leaves 
sub-imbricate, petiolate, ovate, acute at each end, 3 lines long, 2 wide, glabrous, with 
4 prominent nerve, gibbous under the tip, with a single row of glands at nerve and 
margin beneath, the younger villoso-ciliate near the point. Umbels many flowered, 
pedunculate on a very short branchlet ; pedicels minutely pubescent, 2-bracted at 
the very base, 2 lines long. Calyx 1 line long, the segments keeled, obtuse, ciliate. 
Petals 2 lines long, the hairy claw as long as the limb or longer. Fert. filaments 
very hairy, longer than the petals ; sterile linear-filiform, equalling the petals, gla- 
brous and gland-bearing at the point. Style equalling the stamens. Capsules 2-3, 
Sub-compressed, glabrous, not conspicuously glandular, pubescent at top, 2 lines 
long, with a short horn, 
6. A. pentachotoma (E. Mey.! in Hb. Drege) ; twigs scarcely downy ; 
all the leaves equal, ovate, acuminate, flat, glabrous, glandular-denticu- 
late ; umbels axillary ; pedicels very short; calyx segments ovate, acute; 
petals... . . ; style glabrous. : ee 
Has. Dutoit’s Kloof, 2000-3000 f., Drege/ Oct.Jan. (Herb. Sond.) 
A slender shrub, 2 feet or more high ; branches in threes, fours or fives, reddish, 
glabrous. Lower leaves remote, upper closer ; the lower 3 lines, the rameal 2 lines 
long, shortly acuminate, the midrib scarcely prominent beneath, the margins spa- 
ringly glandular. Flowers less numerous than in the preceding, and on shorter pedi- 
cels. Calyx deeply divided, the segments 1 line long, ciliated. Style glabrous, 2 lines 
long. Capsule 2 lines long ; cocci 3-4, round-backed, glabrous, with a marginal row 
of prominent glands ; horn short. ae ie. 
Sror. IV. Involucrate. Flowers crowded at the end of the branch- 
lets ; sub-capitate, on short peduncles or sub-sessile ; heads involucrate. 
nner leaves of the involucre somewhat coloured. (Sp. 7-10.) — 
7. A. involucrata (E. & Z.! 858) ; twigs downy ; leaves ovate-oblong 
or ovate-lanceolate, concave-channelled above, convex beneath, scabro- 
puberulous, gibbous under the tip; flowers sub-sessile, capitate, the inner — 
leaves of the involucre broadly obovate, apiculate, coloured, with mem~ 
branous margins ; calyx lobes linear, the claw of the petals equalling 
the calyx ; sterile filaments narrow-linear, wide in the middle, pilose, 
tapering into a glabrous apex. Bartl. Linn. 17, P. 380. A. ceph
