This is the commonest species in Swartland and dry sandy 
places in the S. W. part of Cape Colony. The leaves always 
dry black, and are seldom more than three lines long, and 
the branches are more broomlike than in any other species. 
I have little doubt that it is the V. sericea of Thunberg, _ 
although it is impossible to determine the point with cer- — — 
tainty, without an inspection of his herbarium ; for in his 
Flora he tells us first that the leaflets and branches are 
pubescent, then that the whole shrub is smooth, again that 
the leaves are entirely silky-pubescent, and lastly that they 
vary in being more or less silky. 2 
The V. obcordata of Thunberg may perhaps be a Lebeckia, 
for we must suppose that one at least of his species, and in 
all probability the first in his list, agrees with his um 
character.
