XXVI. DROSERA RAMENTACEA, Burch. (Droseracea. ) 
D. ramentacea: 8, glabripes (Sond.); “caule elongato foliis vete- 
ribus deflexis obtecto, foliis ad apicem approximatis patentibus junioribus 
erectis lamina anguste obovata subtus pilosiuscula petiolo semi- 
tereti (glabro) duplo breviore, stipulis in unam intra-axillarem setacco- 
laciniatam coneretis, scapis e basi adscendente erectis folia multo super- 
antibus glabris apice cum pedicellis calycibusque glanduloso-pubescen- 
tibus, corolla calycem duplo superante.’’—Sond. in Harv. & Sond. Fl. 
ae vol.i., p. 77; DC. Prod. 1, p. 818; Planch, An. Se. Nat. 1848, p. 
97. 
Has.—In boggy places. Summit of Table Mountain, Eck/on & Zeyher, Dr, Pappe, 
W. H. Harvey. January. (Herb, T.C. D.). 
Descr.—Stem ascending, 6-12 inches long, or more, suffruticose, 
simple or with one or two branches, for the greater part closely set 
with deflexed, withered, persistent leaves. Upper leaves erect or erecto- 
patent, spathulate, tapering at base into a petiole twice the length of 
the lamina, glabrous or strigulose externally, the upper surface densely 
covered with gland-tipped red hairs, and the margin fringed with simi- 
lar, but longer, hairs. Stipules rigidly membranous, tawny, intra-ax- 
illary, cleft into 4-3 linear-subulate, very acute lacinie. Peduncles 4-8 
inches long, subterminal, becoming lateral, glabrous below, glandular 
upwards, ending in a many-flowered, unilateral raceme; bracts dislo- 
cated; pedicels as long as the calyx or shorter, densely glandular. Se- 
pals oblong, obtuse, 3-4 lines long, glandular. Petals bright-purple, 
withering, 2-3 times longer than the calyx. -Anthers with a broad, 
clavate connective. Styles 3, bifurcate near the base, the arms linear, 
three-toothed at the extremity. Capsule longer than the calyx. 
Of this handsome species three varieties are described in the “ Flora 
Capensis.”” Our figure and description are taken from var. f., the com- 
mon form on Table Mountain. Burchell, who named the species, ga- 
thered his specimens (var. a.) in the interior, and the third variety 
(var. y.) was brought by Burke and Zeyher from Macallisberg.

erectis angulatis, foliis ternis sessilibus lineari-oblongis acutis integer- 
rimis coriaceis uninerviis aveniis, pedunculis axillaribus unifloris sub 
calyce bibracteatis, calycis laciniis ovatis acutis. 
Has.—Macallisberg, Burke & Zeyher. (Herb. T. C. D., comm. Cl. Hook.) 
Descr.—Root thick and woody. Stem short, dividing near the base 
into several erect sub-simple branches, 8-12 inches high. Leaves ses- 
sile, in sub-distant whorls of three each, the lower 4-3 inch, the middle
