differing from any South African species of Zehneria by the large, ciliated 
bract, so placed as to look, at first sight, like a stipule. 
Fig. 1, Zehneria Garcini ; the natural size. Fig. 2, a flower-bud; 3, an expanded 
male flower ; 4, section of the male perianth, showing the insertion of the three stamens, 
and the abortive, gland-like ovary ; magnified. 
XCVIT. GOMPHOCARPUS CAMPANULATUS, Harv. 
(Aselepiadee.) 
G. campanulatus: caule herbaceo robusto scaberulo, foliis brevé 
petiolatis lineari-lanceolatis attenuatis hispido-scabris margine revolutis, 
floribus terminalibus, umbella sub-4-flora, pedicellis corollam equanti- 
bus, corolla globoso-campanulaté immaculaté maxima extus hispida, 
coronge stamineze foliolis radiatim patentibus apice in ligulam planam 
productis marginibus basi arrectis. 
Has.—From Pearson’s farm, Port Natal, J. Sanderson. (Herb. Hook.) 
Derscr.—Root tuberous. Stem 14 foot high, 2 lines in diameter, 
terete, nearly glabrous. Leaves 5-6 inches long, 4-5 lines broad near 
the base, thence tapering gradually to an acute point, rough or hispid 
above, with the margins revolute, and the midrib prominent below. 
Umbel 4-flowered, pedunculate, terminal. Flowers very convex, 2 
inches in diameter, one-coloured (not blotched). Calyx and corolla 
hispid externally. Corona star-like; the depressed lobes linear, subacute, 
flat, broad at base, with the margins erect. Stigma depressed. 
Our figure, taken from a sketch made by Mr. Sanderson at Natal, 
does not show the roughness proper to leaves and corolla, as we find 
them on the specimen preserved in Herb, Hook., and here described.
