135. C. nitidum, E. Mey. l. c.—Prope Uitenhage (IV. C. 
c.) Apr. 1839. Krauss, n. 860 (ex parte.) 
136. C. gibbum, E. Mey. comm. p. 137.—Cum preced. 
legit Dr. Krauss, n. 860 (ex parte) Without the fruit, 
Which we have not seen, this species is hardly distinguishable 
from C. tenue and pictum, E. Mey. 
137. Fagelia flexuosa, nob.—Fruticosa, volubilis, tota (ex- 
cepta coroll4) hispido-pilosa et glandulis minutis conspersa, 
ramis flexuosis; foliolo terminali late ovato, rotundato-obtu- 
sissimo basi subtruncato, lateralibus valde gibbis; racemis 
axillaribus, longe pedunculatis, bracteis ovalibus obtusis diu 
persistentibus, calycis lobis superioribus corollà dimidio bre- 
vioribus. 
In planitie Capensi (III. E. b.) Sept. 1838. Krauss, n. 
863. Though very much resembling the common F. bitumi- 
nosa, we must consider our plant a distinct species, especially 
on account of its twice as large and differently shaped folioles 
(which are more than 1 inch in length and breadth) and 
its considerably shorter calyx, which, in F. bituminosa is 
almost as long as the corolla. Our plant, moreover, has a 
much shorter pubescence ; in this and some other points it 
approaches F. pubescens, E. and Z. enum. p. 257, which, 
however, differs in much smaller leaves, “ foliolis lateralibus 
subsessilibus, stipulis ovato-lanceolatis, racemis 2-3 floris,” 
etc. F. viscida, E. et Z. l. c. seems also to differ, especially 
in the shape of its leaflets. Our plant has its lateral folioles = 
terminated with a short straight visible mucro (or rather acu- - 
men), which, in the terminal leaflet, is also present, but scarcely 
distinguishable from its being recurved and closely adpressed 
to the inferior surface. | 
138. Sigmodostyles, nov. gen.—Calyx ebracteolatus, pro- 
funde subbilabiato-4-partitus, lobis lanceolatis acutis, supe- 
riore brevissime bifido. Vexillum complicatum, subrotun- 
dum, basi minute bicallosum et utrinque processu brevi 
deorsum auriculatum, ungue brevi. Ale basi superne ie as 
viter auriculatze et carinze paulo longiori adglutinate. Carina ae 
angulo fere recto rotundato sursum flexa, obtuse subrostrata.
