Descr.—A much-branched leafy shrub. The virgate branches and 
twigs rusty pubescent. Leaves ovato-lanceolate, tapering to a bluntish 
point, rounded at base, shortly petioled, penninerved, glabrous, except 
on the nerves beneath. Petioles, nerves, pedicels, and calyx all rusty 
pubescent. Cymules axillary, 3-5 flowered, on peduncles about equalling 
the petioles; bracts short, connate into a little cup. Calyx subtended 
by a cup-like toothed bract; its limb campanulate, shortly 6-toothed. 
Corolla salver-shaped, 6-lobed or rarely 7-lobed. Stamens in the throat, 
exserted; filaments subulate; anthers spindle-shaped, straight, versa- 
tile. Ovary 2-celled, cells uniovulate. 
A handsome shrub, with the habit of a Coffea or a Kraussia, but 
generically distinct from both. It was originally named Bunburya, by 
Professor Meisner, in compliment to Sir Charles J. F. Bunbury, Bart., 
who travelled and botanized in South Africa some years since, and to 
whom I had (in Gen. S. A., Pl. Suppl. p. 41 6) inseribed an Asclepiad, 
which was not sufficiently distinct from Cynoctonum, and is now included 
in that genus. My friend Sone ", Supposing that the Asclepiad had pre- 
occupied the name “‘ Bunburia,’ “anged the name of Meisner’s genus 
to Natalanthe ; but I trust he will now coincide with me in the propriety 
of restoring to it the name given by Meisner, particularly as it comme- 
morates a naturalist in every way deserving of having his name perpe- 
tuated in a genus of plants.
