Hills near Caledon and Hottentotsholland, Ecklon and Zeyher, 
Drege; gathered also by Masson! Wallich ! and others. Lin- 
neus’s name is commonly attributed to a very different species 
(A. Willdenowiana), with which his short character agrees 
almost as well as with this one, which his herbarium proves to be 
‘the one he had in view.

brevibus vix mucronatis carnosis glabris, floribus subsessilibus 
solitariis lateralibus, calycis glabri oblique campanulati dentibus

Piquetberg and Gnadenthal, Drége! Oliphants river in Clan- 
william, Zeyher! n. 439; Kamanassie hills, Alexander! also 
Thom ! and a rather longer-leaved variety from Caledon, Mundt! 
The plant referred to A. pinguis by Ecklon and Zeyher, is said vil 
Drége to be the A. arida. 
121. A. Mundtiana (Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. p- 220), gathered pa 
Mundt in the hills near Swellendam, may very possibly be a mere 
variety of A. pinguis.

ramulis numerosis post flores delapsos interdum induratis at non 
vere spinescentibus; cæterum hæc species valde affinis est 
A. pingui, nisi foliis ovoideis vix semilineam longis.
