This species almost unites the genera Harveya & Aulaya, partaking 
of the characters of each. Among the species of Aulaya it is most 
nearly allied to A. pauetflora, but has a different calyx, shorter pedi- 
cels, &e.

memorate the services rendered to South African Botany by Henry 
Bowker, Esq., and his sister, Mrs. F. W. Barser* (formerly Miss

itis to you that 1 owe the existence of my ‘ hobby,’ for I never should have known any-

and hence commenced some of the happiest days of my life; for in all places, and at all
