SOUTHERN ASIA AND AFRICA. 637 
Capitula 3-10-flora. Bractea subtendens ovata, acuminata, brac- 
teolæ laterales lineares, acutissimæ. ^ Calycis tubus linea paullo 
longior. Petala 3 lin. longa. Vexillum basi cordatum. 
Zwarteberg near Caledon, Mundt ! also Bowie! 
110. A. crassifolia (Andr. Bot. Reg. t. 353) appears so 
nearly to resemble A. floribunda that I should have adopted the 
name, but that the figure represents the flowers larger, and the 
calycine divisions as very blunt instead of being remarkably 
pointed. 
lll. A. batodes (Eckl. Zeyh.! Enum. p. 215) from the same 
station as A. floribunda must be very near it, but the expression 
folis densis subulatis, besides some minor points, deterred me 
from regarding it as identical. — 
112. A. collina (Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. p. 220) foliis fasciculatis 
trigonis rigidis mucronato-pungentibus glabris, floribus brevissime 
pedicellatis solitariis, calycis glabri subcarnosi laciniis subulato- 
acuminatis tubo longioribus, vexillo villoso carinam glabram 
arcuato-subrostratam vix superante, ovario 4-ovulato, legumine 
oblique ovato turgido.—A. versicolor, E. Mey.? Comm. p. 48.— 
Frutieulus rigide tortuoso-ramosissimus. Folia vulgo 2 lin. longa, 
basi præsertim crassa, mucrone brevi. Flores ad apices ramulo- 
rum brevium interdum vix evolutorum semper solitarii videntur. 
Hills near Port Elizabeth, in Uitenhage, Ecklon and Zeyher! 
and if Drèges plant be the same, in Groote Zwartebergen. It is 
also among Bowie’s plants. 
113. A. juniperina (Thunb. Fl. Cap. p. 583), and 114, A. /ri- 
gona (Thunb. 1. c.), must be near the preceding, but I cannot 
recognise either of them among those I have seen. 
115. A. abietina (Thunb. Fl. Cap. p. 583), foliis fasciculatis 
carnosis trigonis aristato-pungentibus glabris, floribus sessilibus 
solitariis geminisve, calycis subcarnosi glabri laciniis basi ovatis 
subulato-acuminatis tubo longioribus, petalis glabris subzequi- 
longis, carina arcuata obtusa, ovario 6-ovulato. Frutex rigide 
ramosissimus, ramulis crassis tomentosis. Folia valde inæqualia, 
exteriora sepe 4-5 lin. longa. Flores intra fasciculos laterales 
solitarii, v. ad apices ramulorum gemini, 5-6 lin. longi, fere
