Schönland, S., On some new and some little-known 

 species oi South African plant s. (Records oi the 

 Albany Museum. Vol. I. No. 1. p. 48—60. 1903.) 

 The following species are described or discussed: 

 Scilla (sect. Ledebouriä) hypoxidioides n. sp. resembles some species 

 of Hypoxis in its silky-haired leaves^ Nerine Hiittonii n. sp., Dioscorea 

 Tysonii n. sp. differs from D. Burchellii in the non anastomosing longi- 

 tudinal nerves of the leaf and in the male flowers, Anacampseros papy- 

 racea E. Mey. has only cleistogamous flowers, included in the uppermost 

 stipules, Anacampseros (Avonia) Alstonii n. sp. is closely allied to A. 

 quinaria E. Mey., Anacampseros (Avonia) recurvata n. sp., A. ustnlata 

 E. Mey., A. filamentosa Sims, A. arachnoides Sims with elongated ovary 

 and semi-globose protuberances on the side, A lanigera Burch., Cras- 

 sula nitida n. sp. close to C portulacea Lam., C. Cotyledon L. is not 

 known wild, C. albanensis n. sp. approaches very close to the subgenus 

 Globulea, C. nodulosa n. sp., C quadrangiilaris n. sp. belongs to sect. 

 Rosiilares modified, and is allied to C. orbicularis, C. (Bulliarda) limosa 

 n. sp. is distinguished from C. alpina Endl. and C papillosa Schönl. et 

 Bak. fil. by its perfectly glabrous leaves and sepals and the shorter 

 petais, C. (Pyramidella) pachyphylla n. sp., Cotyledon Bolusii n. sp. 

 belongs to sect. Spicatae and is distinguished from allied species by the 

 elongated stem and comparatively large corolla lobes, C. Marlothii n. sp. 

 (sect. Spicatae) comes close to C. hemisphaerica, being distinguished by 

 the possession of leaves, circular in transverse section, and of larger 

 corolla-lobes. F. E. Fritsch. 



Schönland, S., On Some South African species of Aloe, 



with special reference to those represented in 



the Herbarium of the Albany Museum [with de- 



scriptions of two new species]. (Records of the Albany

Contains a discussion of the following species: 



Aloe Cooperi Bak., A. micracantha Haw. var., A. Kraiissii Bak., A. 

 myriacantha Roem. et Schult., A. aristata Haw., A. Boylei Bak., A. hiimi- 

 lis Mill., A. pratensis Bak., A. longistyla Bak., often confused with forms 

 of A. humilis, A. Ecklonis Salm-Dyck , A. lineata Haw., A. striata Haw., 

 A. Schönlandi Bak. is placed near A. striata Haw. contrary to Baker, 

 A. saponaria Haw., under which name several distinct species are pro- 

 bably cultivated in European gardens, A. latifolia Haw., all speci- 

 mens observed were acaulescent, A. obscura Mill., A. grandidentcita 

 Salm-Dyck., A. Greenii Bak., A. Graliami n. sp., A. microstigma Salm- 

 Dyck. var., A. tenuior Haw., A. ciliaris Haw. and var. Tidmarshii nov. 

 var., which is smaller in all parts and the leaf bases are not so deci- 

 dedly ciliate, A. ciliaris Haw. var. Flanagani nov. var. with larger cilia 

 on the sheath, A. striatiila Haw. = A. Mac Owani Bak., A. succotrina 

 Lam. probably includes two species, A. purpiirascens Haw., A. arbores- 

 cens Mill., which has until recently been confused with A. natalensis 

 Wood et Evans, which however differs in branching and shape of the 

 corolla, A. pluridens Haw., also confused with A. arborescens, A. pliiri- 

 dens Haw. var. Beckeri nov. var. with thinner leaves, which are more 

 decidedly striate, and less dense inflorescence, A. speciosa Bak. close to 

 A. ferox (= A. Galpini Bak.), A. fulgens Todaro = A. Salm-Dyckiana 

 Schult, fil., A. dichotoma L. f., A. Bainesii Dyer, outer petais form a tube, 

 inner free, A. Schlechteri n. sp. separated from A. falcata Bak. by the 

 campanulate flowers and the long bracts, A. ferox Mill. (= A. siipralae- 

 vis Haw.), A. africana Mill., leaves sometimes very prickly on both sur- 

 faces, A. rupestris Bak., A. variegata L., A. plicatilis Mill. — Further 

 observations are to foUow. F. E. Fritsch.
