ped. (IV. B. b.) Dec. 1838. Krauss, n. 1188. 
21. P? elongatum, E. Mey. ! in Hb. Drége ; glaberrimum, 
caule subsimplici, tereti, striato, folioso ; foliis tripinnati- 
sectis, rigidis, segmentis angustissime linearibus sulcatis ; 
involucri utriusque foliolis filiformibus ; mericarpiorum jugis 
dorsalibus obsoletis, lateralibus in marginem subincrassatum 
obtusiusculum confluentibus. 
Ad latera montis Tygerberg, alt. 1000 ped. (III. D. a.) 
Nov. 1838. Krauss, n. 1181. 
From P. capillaceum, to which this species is nearly iiu; 
it is easily distinguished by its stem being rather thickly 
covered with leaves, which are longer, less divided and with 
no true petiole, the broad, emarginate vagina reaching up to 
the very origin of their lowest segments. All our specimens, 
from Drége as well as Krauss, have but imperfect fruits. The 
flowers seem to be pale yellow. Other specimens, gathered 
by Dr. Krauss on hills near Knysna River, distr. George (IV. 
C. b.) in Jan. and Febr. 1839, (n. 1182) differ from the 
former only in the segments of the leaves being shorter and 
the stem of a dark purple colour. 
22. P. abbreviatum, E. Mey. l. c.—In summitate montis 
Tafelberg (III. A. e.) Mart. 1840. Krauss, n. 1179. Eck- 
lon, Un. itin. n. 563! "The specimens are too imperfect to 
enable me to draw from them a diagnosis of this species, 
which, to my knowledge, has not yet been characterised. 
In general habit it comes near P. elongatum ; but the seg- 
ments of the upper leaves are shorter and serrate, still more 
rigid, somewhat falcate, not so distinctly sulcate, and of a 
pale (perhaps glaucescent?) colour, and those of the lower- 
most leaves are lanceolate (about 3 lines broad) and inciso- 
serrate. They have, moreover, a distinct petiole, which 
gradually dilates, only at the very base, into a short half 
embracing vagina.
