æquilongis et corollam æquantibus, vexillo carinam vix superante, 
On the Giftberg (Cederbergen), Drège ! Scarcely differing 
from some forms of A. virgata but in the smaller corolla. 
27. A. virgata (Thunb. F1. Cap. p. 576) foliis ternis fascicu- 
latisve parvis oblongis linearibusve acutis sericeis, capitulis 
oblongis densis, bracteis orbiculatis v. ovatis, calycis villosi 
laciniis tubo æquilongis, petalis calyce longioribus carina vix 
ceteris breviore, legumine ovato-turgido acuminato.—A. elongata,

longa lateralibus intermedio minoribus, v. in ramulis vegetioribus 
3lin. longa et interdum solitaria. Capitula pleraque pollicem

In sandy stony situations in Tulbagh valley, Ecklon and 
Zeyher ! near Jackall's river, and Piquetberg, Drège! also n. 424 
of Zeyher! n. 6323 of Burchell! and in Wallich’s and other 
collections. Ecklon's synonym is referred by Walpers to A. ad- 
scendens, but his description agrees with my specimen, which is 
certainly the present species. 
B.? globosa, capitulis exacte globosis v. etiam depressis.—A. 
' quinquefolia, Thunb. ? Fl. Cap. p. 575 non Linn. fil. 
This form, which is intermediate between A. leucocephala and 
A. virgata, is mixed with specimens of the latter in various col- 
lections, and induces me to think all may be mere varieties of one 
Species. P

alisque carina triente longioribus.—A. sericea, Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. 
P. 202, teste Walp.-—Caules decumbentes v. ascendentes (nec

floriferis brevibus. Pubes laxa, pilis longinsculis vix sericis. 
Folia pleraque 2 lin. longa. Spice 1-2 pollicares, laxiores quam
