5. P. eordata (R. Br.—DC. Prod. 2, p. 102) undique vil- 
losa, foliis orbiculatis lato-ovatisve basi nonnunquam subcor- 
datis concaviusculis utrinque dense lanato-villosis, pedunculis 
folio brevioribus calycibusque rufo-villosissimis, laciniis caly- 
cinis lanceolatis carinam subeequantibus. 
Moist places and banks of streams in the mountains near 
the Cape; at the foot of the Hottentots-holland mountains, 
Ecklon and Zeyher! Dutoits-kloof, Drége! also Burchell! 
n. 8157. 
6. P. canescens (Eckl. et Zeyh.! Enum. p. 158; E. Mey. ! 
Comm. p. 9), ramis villosis, foliis orbiculatis ovatis v. obova- 
tis subplanis supra sericeo-villosis subtus reticulatis tomen- 
toso-villosis lanatisve, pedunculis 1-3-floris folio brevioribus 
v. paullo longioribus, calycibus appresse villosis, laciniis 
latiuscule lanceolatis carinam vix equantibus.—P. Thunberg- 
iana, P. amena, et intermedia, Eckl. et Zeyh.! Enum. p. 155. 
—Intermediate between P. cordata on the one hand, and 
P. myrtillifolia and P. Burchellii on the other, it is easily 
distinguished by the reticulate venation perceptible on the 
underside, sometimes nearly as much as in P. calyptrata, 
from which it always differs in the woolly leaves as well as 
by the bracts. Mr. Harvey has sent specimens of young 
shoots of this species from plants which had been burnt 
down, with the leaves above two inches long, and the pe- 
duncles bearing two or three flowers, half as large again as 
usual. 
Common in the Cape district, from Paarl to Hottentots- 
holland, in stony and clayey soils, amongst bushes. Ecklon 
and Zeyher! Drege! Burchell! n. 6869, and others. 
7. P. velutina (Burch.! Cat. Geogr. n. 3565 et 6984), 
ramulis tomentosis, foliis oblongis crassiusculis supra tenuius 
subtus densius velutino-tomentosis venis subtus leviter pro- 
minentibus, pedunculis unifloris brevibus, calycis villosis- 
simi laciniis lanceolatis carina subbrevioribus.—Near P. Bur- 
chellii, but the woolis appressed, the leaves are usually three 
times as long as broad and never ovate, and the hairs of the 
pod are much longer. |
