dulum. 
Uitenhage district, Ecklon and Zeyher! Zeyher, n. 215! Aler- 
ander! I know not why Presl refers Desvaux's Acropodium to 
this species, which has not the character on which Desvaux 
founded his genus. 
165. A. ulicina (Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. p. 205) foliis fasciculatis 
subulatis tenuissime spinescentibus rigidis stellatim patentibus, pe- 
dunculis 2-4 floris, calycis puberuli dentibus subulato-spinescenti- 
bustubo turbinato longioribus, petalis sericeis, vexillo alas superante

inæqualia, pleraque semipollice breviora, extimo tamen sæpe 9-10 
lin. longo, acumine longo tenuissimo sed pungente. Pedunculi

Besides Thunberg's synonyms above given, all of which require 
verifying in his herbarium, there remain four of his species which 
I have not yet mentioned, viz., A. acuminata, Thunb. Fl. Cap. 
p. 573, a name changed to A. ambigua by De Candolle, and A. 
obtusata, Thunb. l. c. p. 574, which, if Aspalathi at all, must be 
near A. dasyantha and A. emula; A. squamosa, Thunb. l. c. 
p. 581, a misprint for A. squarrosa, very near to, if not the same 
as, A. bracteata, and A. subulata, Thunb. l. c. p. 583, a name ap- 
plied in the Banksian and some other herbaria to the A. filifolia, 
but the description seems to me to apply rather to some one of 
the pungent-leaved Carnos@, and at any rate the “ Folia vix semili- 
neam longa” will not do for the A. filifolia. ; 
There are also A. opaca, Eckl. Zeyh. Enum. p. 215, A. ramu- 
losa, E. Mey. Linnea, 7, p. 162, and A. alternifolia, Spreng-
