SOUTHERN ASIA AND AFRICA. 599 
longioribus, corolla extus sericea, ovario biovulato villoso.—Paras- 
palathus psoraleoides, Presl. Bot. Bem. p. 134. 
Cape Colony, Ecklon and Zeyher, Sieber! Possibly a deformed 
state of A. stellaris, analogous to those mentioned under 
A. conferta. 
16. A. fusca (Thunb. Fl. Cap. p. 574), appears to be allied 
to some of the preceding species, but is very imperfectly de- 
scribed. 
17. A. Kraussiana (Meissn! Lond. Journ. Bot. ii. p. 69). This 
species, well described in the second volume of this jourmal, is 
closely allied to A. anthylloides, from which it differs in the more 
coriaceous and less hairy leaves; the upper ones distinctly three- 
nerved. In these respects it approaches A. stellaris, but the leaves 
and flowers are larger, and the general appearance much nearer 
that of A. anthylloides. 
Besides Krauss's specimens from the Klein river, in Swellendam 
district, I have seen it in the collections of Bowie! Thom ! and 
Nelson ! 
18. A. anthylloides (Linn. Spec. p. 1002), ramulis villosis, 
folis oblongo-lanceolatis acutis lateralibus obliquis hirsutis v. 
demum glabratis, floribus dense capitatis, bracteis lanceolato- 
subulatis, calycis villosi laciniis lanceolato-subulatis tubo longiori- 
bus, petalis sericeo-villosis, ovario villoso biovulato, legumine 
oblique ovato calyce breviore.—Folia pleraque semipollicaria, 
2 lin. lata, vulgo pilis longis laxis villosa, costa parum prominente, 
venis inconspicuis, rectiora planiora et minus coriacea quam in 
plerisque affinibus. Capitula majuscula, foliis floralibus toca 
involucrata. 
Probably common near Capeton and towards Caledon, as it 
occurs in many collections without precise stations. It is 
Burchell’s n. 585 |—Berger’s A. anthylloides (Pl. Cap. p. 211) is 
evidently a very different species, probably A. procumbens. 
19. A. Zinearifolia (DC. Prod. 2. p. 142), ramulis molliter 
villosis, foliis linearibus sublanceolatisye utrinque acutis, floribus 
capitatis, calycis molliter villosi laciniis lanceolatis tubo plus duplo 
longioribus, vexillo pubescente carinam arcuatam apice pubes-
