4 CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 
Hazs.—Howison’s Poort, near Grahamstown, Mr. H. Hutton (Herb. T.C. D.) 
Derscr.—Perennial? Stems several, filiform, decumbent or prostrate, 
rooting occasionally from the lower nodes, quadrangular, 6-12 inches 
long, subsimple. Leaves 4-5 lines long, opposite, distinctly petiolate, 
broadly ovate, obtuse, or subacute, with slightly reflexed margins, pale 
underneath. Flowers white, pedicels filiform, nearly twice as long as 
the leaf. Sepals linear-lanceolate. Corolla rotate. Stamens broadly 
subulate, setose. ruit-stalk revolute, pyxidium shorter than the 
calyx. 
* new and distinctly characterized species of Anagallis, from South 
Africa, is the more interesting, because so few Primulaceous plants are 
found in that country. With the exception of the common A. arvensis, 
which is naturalized throughout the Colony, this is the only representa- 
tive of the genus at the Cape; and the only other Cape plants of the 
Order are Lysimachia ( Coxia) atropurpurea, and two species of Samolus. 
I am indebted to Mr. Henry Hutton for several excellent parcels of 
plants, and hope to figure many more of his discoveries as this work 
proceeds.

stamens in situ; 3, a stamen; 4, a ripe capsule ( pyxidium), subtended by the persistent

V. GARDENIA GLOBOSA, Hochst. ( Rubiaceae.) 
G. globosa: foliis brevi-petiolatis lato-lanceolatis glaberrimis, floribus 
terminalibus solitariis ternisve subsessilibus, calycis pubescentis limbo 
brevi 5-dentato, corolle tubo late-campanulato utrinque villoso limbo 
profunde 5-lobato lobis ovatis acutis patentibus, ovario oblongo, fructu 
globoso majusculo.— Hochst. Flora, vol.xxv., p. 237; Walp. Rep., vol. ii., 
p- 944; Krauss, Fl. Nat., p. 66; Hook. Bot. Mag., t.4791. 
Hap.—Sea coast, near Natal, extending to 1200 feet elevation. Krauss (467), 
Gueinzius, Dr. Sutherland, §e. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Drscr.—A low tree or shrub, glabrous, except on the leaf-buds, 
young leaves, and inflorescence. Leaves 3-4 inches long, an inch or 
more broad, acute at each end, or sub-obtuse, membranaceous, glossy, 
penninerved. Flowers 1 or 3 in a terminal cymule; pedicels very short, 
articulated with the calyx. Calyx tube 2 lines long, appressedly pubes- 
cent, bibracteolate at base ; limb campanulate, short, sharply 5-toothed, 
the teeth ridged and acuminate. Corolla white, villous on both surfaces, 
15 inch long, 2 inch diameter, or larger, campanulate, obtuse at base, 
the lobes broadly ovate, nearly } inch long. The stigma figured in our 
Plate is an abortive one; the perfect stigmata are shortly bifid.
