Sandy hills, Cape district, Drége! This species requires further 
elucidation, I describe it from imperfect specimens so named by 
E. Meyer in Drége's collection, and there is reason to believe 
correctly so, in so far as it was probably included by Linnzeus in 
his A. albens, but the two specimens in his herbarium appear to 
be A. armata and A. candicans. The latter requires further com- 
parison with the present plant, and possibly they may turn out to 
be forms of one species which would then take Linnæus’s name 
of A. albens.
