tions. In Linnæus’s herbarium, the name of araneosa is also given 
to specimens of A. ciliaris, and of A. spicata. 
42. A. ciliaris (Linn! Mant. p. 262), foliis dense fasciculatis 
subulatis v. lineari-trigonis, floribus terminalibus capitatis v. hinc 
inde solitariis, calycis hispidi laciniis anguste lineari-lanceolatis 
costatis subtrinervibus tubo multo longioribus, vexillo villoso, 
carina glabra v. villosa, ovario hirsutissimo.—A. appendiculata,

Enum. p. 217.—Species quam maxime variabilis, ab A. araneosa 
distinguenda imprimis laciniis calyciniis latioribus subtrinervibus, 
floribus vulgo majoribus et vexillo crassiore villosiore, a sequenti- 
bus floribus supremis v. sæpissime omnibus capitatis. Folia nunc 
fere A. araneosæ tenuia, vulgo tamen validiora et densiora, infe- 
riore sæpe glabrescunt et interdum fere omnia, et sepius superiora 
v. interdum omnia pilis longis sæpe e tuberculo ortis hispida sunt, 
variant longitudine nunc vix 3 lin. nunc 5-6 lin., subulata v. 
lineari-carinata, incurva v. rarius recta. Flores interdum usque 
ad 7-8 lin. longi et fere semper iis A. araneosæ majores. Vexil- 
lum semper dense villosum, longiuscule mucronatum v. muticum. 
Carina in forma normali dense villosa, in varietatibus nonnullis 
glaberrima, in aliis parce villosa v. pilis raris conspersa. 
Mountains of Cape, Stellenbosch and Caledon districts, 
where it is probably very common, as it is sent in almost every 
collection, although varying so much that it cannot always at first 
sight be recognised, but on examination its characters appear 
constant. It occurs in Linnæus’s herbarium, both under the 
name of ciliaris and of araneosa, and the name of ciliaris is also 
there given to a specimen of A. comosa. 
43. A. oresigena (Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. p. 216), from Uitenhage, 
and : 
44. A. aulonogena (Echl. Zeyh. Enum. p. 216), from Tulbagh 
valley, are both unknown to me, but from the description given 
appear to be allied to A. ciliaris.
