CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 25 
Drscr.—A much-branched shrub, 8-10 feet high, with beautiful 
pale green foliage, resembling that of Sparmannia Africana. Petioles 
4-6 inches long; stipules 3 inch, ovato-lanceolate. Leaves 5-7 inches 
across, 5-7-nerved, with as many shallow, blunt lobes, clothed with long, 
soft, simple hairs. Flowers 14-17 inches across, white, pencilled with 
rosy lines, showy and fragrant. 
A very fine species, one of three new Dombey@, added to the Cape 
Flora since the publication of vol. i; a proof of the activity of our cor- 
respondents. Other new species may be expected in the Natal district, 
but we can hardly anticipate one finer than this, which is dedicated by 
Mr. Gerrard to Miss Burgess, of Birkenhead.

139. CYRTANTHUS BREVIFLORUS, Harv. (Amaryllidea.) 
C. brevifiorus: foliis binis longe-lingulatis apice attenuatis subacu- 
tis, umbella 6-9 flora, floribus erecto-patentibus infundibuliformibus, 
tubo brevi lacinias lanceolatas acutas subequante, filamentis brevissimis. 
Has.—Natal, Krauss, No. 255. Summit of the Kaga Berg, and about the sources 
of the Kat River, 6000 feet, H. Hutton. In marshy ground, Umgaika Kop, T. Cooper. 
No. 255. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Descr.—Bulb white (T. Cooper). Leaves flat, strap-shaped, 12-15 
inches long, $-2 inch wide, tapering toa bluntish point. Scape scarcely 
equalling the leaves, terete. Umbel several-flowered, the spathe-bracts 
lanceolate, membranous. Pedicels slender, erect, or slightly spreading. 
Perianth bright yellow, shortly funnel-shaped, the segments as long as 
the tube or rather longer, lanceolate, acute. Stamens in the throat, the 
three longer scarcely exserted, all with very short filaments. Anthers 
versatile. : 
A very pretty bulbous plant, allied to C. lutescens (Bot. Mag. 
t. 5374), but readily known by its short flowers, and much broader flat 
leaves. I fear my figure (taken from dried specimens) represents the 
limb of the perianth too much spread. It seems to be widely dis- 
tributed. The specimens from the above localities precisely agree. 
Krauss’s specimens ought to have been seen by Kunth, but I cannot 
find that they are noticed in the Enumeratio Plantarum.

140, TURNERA CAPENSIS, Harv. ( Turneracee.) 
T. Capensis: dense hirsuta; caule humili suffruticoso basi ramoso ; 
foliis lanceolato-oblongis obtusis dentatis basi angustatis brevissime pe- 
tiolatis, pedunculis axillaribus unifloris liberis folio multo brevioribus, 
calyce profunde 5-fido, laciniis lineari-lanceolatis acutis, petalis oblongo- 
ovatis._—Harv. in Fl. Cap., vol. ii., Suppl., p. 599.
