25. P. (Anisothea) Meyeri, nob.—P. axillaris, E. Mey. 
comm. p. 20 (non. DC.)—Inter lapides ad latera montis Ta- 
felberg, alt. 2500 (III. A. e.) Mart. 1840. Krauss, n. 864. 
—A very elegant shrub, certainly distinct from De Can- 
dolle’s P. axillaris, as Dr. Meyer already suspected, and 
therefore we are obliged to change the name. 
26. Amphithalea densa, Eckl. et Zeyh. Enum. p. 167 (excl. 
syn.?)—In montibus Outeniqua, distr. Uitenhage, alt. 1000 
(IV. C. c.) Mart. 1839. Krauss, No. 865.—To this species 
Ecklon refers “ P. elliptica, E. Mey. in Linnea 7, p. 150, 
non DC.," though Meyer quotes DC. mem. legum. t. 33, 
as belonging to his plant. Ours is certainly quite different 
from De Candolle's P. elliptica, having the flowers scattered 
in the axils of the superior leaves, or sometimes near the 
top of very short branchlets, but always solitary, never truly 
terminal nor collected in 5-6-flowered umbels or heads. 
Flowers purplish, quite of the same structure as in A. erici- 
folia, but smaller. Leaves very crowded, rather patent, 
silky on both sides, oval, 3 lines long, 2 lines broad. Lathrio- 
gyna candicans, Eckl. et Zeyh. agrees with our plant both in 
generic and specific characters, except in having yellow 
flowers and calloso-mucronate leaves. Ingenhoussia rosea, 
E. Mey. comm. p. 153, which is referred to A. densa by Dr. 
Walpers (Linnea 13, p. 471), does not appear to us to 
belong to it; from our plant at least it is biegen different 
in its Hion 
27. A. ericefolia, Eckl. et Zeyh. l. c. p. 169, Walp: du 
P. 47 1.—Priestleya ericefolia, DC. prodr. 2 p. 122, n. 7.—

28. A, Kraussiana, nob.— Ramis gracilibus, subsimplicibus, 
strictis; foliis patulis, linearibus, mucronato-acutis, margine 
revolutis, supra glabris nitidis, subtus adpresse sericeo- 
pilosis; floribus in summis axillis subfasciculatis, basi 
bracteolatis, fasciculis in spicam confertam approximatis. ——
