SOUTHERN ASIA AND AFRICA. 625 
Eckl: Zeyh. ! Enum. p. 214 et auct. quorund. non Linn.— Species 
variabilis nec semper facile ab affinibus presertim ab A. canescente 
distinguenda, a ceteris carina glabra constanter diversa videtur. 
Folia numerosa, incurva v. subrecurva, 2-3 lin. longa. Flores 
semipollicares, dissiti v. in spicam foliatam approximati. 
From the mountains near Cape town, in most collections. 
Burchell's n. 6321, is a smaller flowered variety. 
74. A. sericantha (E. Mey.! Comm. p. 49), foliis fasciculatis 
subulatis mucronatis glabriusculis, floribus solitariis lateralibus, 
calycis late campanulati villosi dentibus subulato-acuminatis tubo 
subæquilongis, vexillo villoso carinam villosam superante, legu- 
mine oblique lanceolato acuto turgido villosissimo.—Similis hinc 
A. laricifolia et A. canescenti, a quibus differt carina villosa, hinc 
A. echinate, sed folia incurva et vulgo tenuiora, mucrone minus 
rigido, et præsertim legumen omnino Lateralium. 
Eastern districts from Algoa bay, Forbes! to Port Natal 
Peddie! Drége\—also Burchell’s n. 3485 ! 
15. A. eanescens (Linn. Mant. ! p. 262), foliis fasciculatis sub- 
ulatis acutiusculis canescentibus sericeisve, floribus solitariis late- 
ralibus, calycis villosi dentibus tubo suo brevioribus, vexillo 
pubescente carinam glabram superante, legumine oblique lanceo- 
lato turgido villosissimo.—A. neanthes et A. Jaubertiana, Eckl. 
Zeyh.! Enum. p. 213, 214.—A. thymifolia, Lam. ex. J. St. Hil. 
in herb. Banks.— Species A. Zaricifolie valde affinis, differt indu- 
mento, sed et hoc character uti longitudo foliorum (2-4 lin.) 
quam maxime variat. i 
Apparently common, from Cape town to Caledon, as it occurs 
in almost all collections. 
8.? Bowieana, major, foliis longioribus (4-5 lin.), calycis den- 
tibus brevioribus, floribus majoribus, legumine acutiore 7 lin. 
longo. An species propria ? 
From Bowies collection (Herb. Hooker!), and recently com- 
municated to me by Dr. Alexander! who gathered it at Kaimans- 
gat, near Georgetown. A very handsome form, which may pos- 
sibly prove a distinct species, although I have been unable to 
detect any positive characters to separate it from the larger forms 
of A. canescens.
