42 CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 
Haz.—Near Grahamstown, Ecklon & Zeyher, T. Williamson, Col, Bolton, &c. 
Chumiberg, and in Tyalis Country, Caffraria, Z.& 2. Grassy places on the Katberg, 
3-4000 feet, and on the Witberg, 6-7000 feet, Drege. (Herb. T. C.D.) 
Drscr.—Root-stock short and thick, bearing many rosulate leaves, 
5-6 inches long, and several branching flowering stems, 1-2 feet high. 
Radical leaves on softly hairy petioles, pinnate-parted, the terminal lobe 
subrotund, many nerved, crenulate, 2-24 inches long and broad, hairy, 
especially on the upper surface ; the lateral pinne very small, sometimes 
obsolete, cut or entire. Flowering-stems villous and minutely glandular 
when young, becoming subglabrous, with a few small, trifid or simple, 
scattered, dentate leaves; branched above, each branch bearing a flower. 
Calyx hairy, the outer segments linear, narrow ; inner semi-lanceolate 
or narrow-triangular. Petals bright yellow, broad, longer than the 
sepals. Carpels densely hairy, with a glabrescent, twisted awn. 
A handsome plant, not unworthy of cultivation. I am indebted to 
Col. Bolton for the specimen here figured.

ripening, all of the natural size; 4, a carpel. Somewhat magnified. 
XIX. ACRIDOCARPUS NATALITIUS, A. Juss.  (Malpighiacee.) 
A. Natalitius : caule scandente? foliis alternis oblongis v. obovato- 
oblongis glaberrimis rigidis margine reflexo, racemis terminalibus sim- 
plicibus longissimis multifloris ferrugineis, bracteolis subulatis eglandu- 
losis; samare glabriuscule ala extrorsum ascendente oblique oblonga.— 
A. Juss, Archiv. Mus. 111, p. 486; Walp. Repert. 5, p. 287. 
Hazs.—Port Natal, Krauss, No. 261, Gueinzius, T. Williamson, &c. (Herb. T. C.D.) 
Descr.—A large, probably climbing shrub, with laurel-like leaves, 
and long terminal racemes of (yellow ?) flowers. Leaves 4—6 inches long, 
1-2 inches wide, obtuse or subacute, narrow-oblong or somewhat obo- 
vate, in all my specimens alternate, sometimes ‘‘sub-opposite” (4. Juss.), 
quite glabrous, the upper surface shining, with the veins impressed, 
the lower paler, with prominent veins and slightly inflexed margin. 
Peduncle, pedicels, and calyx covered with very short, rust-coloured 
pubescence ; pedicels much longer than the flowers, each bracteate at 
base. Calyx obtusely 5-parted, with 2-3 glands externally. Petals 
roundish-obovate, jagged at the margin, spreading. Samare minutely 
rufescent at first, afterwards nearly glabrous; the wing pale, oblong, 
somewhat falcate, striate, an inch in length, more than 4 inch wide. 
Fig. 1, Aeridocarpus Natalitius, the natural size. Vig. 2, reverse view of the calyx ; 
3, a petal; 4, an anther; 5, ovary and styles; 6, mature fruit. These figures (except 
the last) somewhat enlarged, 
XX. BRACTEOLARIA RACEMOSA, Hochst. ( Leguminosae.) 
_&B. racemosa: glabrescens, foliolis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis supra 
nitidis subtus reticulatis glabratis, racemis puberulis laxiusculis, calycis 
segmentis dentatis, bracteolis lanceolatis.
