sima, 2—4 lin. longa. Flores 3 lin. longi. 
Paarlberg in Cape district, Drége! and if the synonyms adduced 
are correct, in Tulbagh valley and Swellendam mountains, Zeklon 
and Zeyher—Xncluded in the Linnzan herbarium under A. erici- 
Jolia. The A. mollis B. flezuosa, E. Mey. appears to me rather 
to belong to A. thymifolia. 
B. arcuata, carina majore arcuata glaberrima, ceteris omnibus 
A. mollis—In Thom’s collection. 
57. A. thymifolia (Linn. Spec. p. 1000) foliis fasciculatis 
parvis subulatis submuticis hirsutis glabratisve, floribus solitariis 
subsessilibus lateralibus, calycis pubescentis laciniis subulatis tubo 
non v. paullo longioribus, vexillo pubescente, alis carina puberulo 
glabrave brevioribus, ovario biovulato, legumine oblique ovato 
acuto puberulo calycem superante.—A. hispida, Eckl. Zeyh.!

Enum. p. 207 non DC.—A. multiflora Sieb.! Fl. Cap. exs. n. 
163.—A. Zannaensis, Eckl. Zeyh.? Enum. p. 207.—Fruticulus 
diffusus v. divaricato-ramosissimus quam maxime variabilis, a 
binis precedentibus distinguitur floribus parvis vix unquam duas 
lineas excedentibus et alis carina semper brevioribus. Folia raro 
(nisi in var. subsequente 8,) lineam excedunt, sepe semilinea 
breviora, floralia sæpissime calyce breviora. Flores infra apices 
ramulorum vulgo numerosi, non tamen tam distincte spicati ut in 
Ae ericifolia, interdum rari secus ramos sparsi. Calyx lineam 
longus.  Legumen acutum et valde compressum, calyce sæpe 
subdimidio longius. 
Very abundant in the Cape and neighbouring district, from 
whence it is sent in almost all collections.
