160. CYPHIA ELATA, Harv. ( Campanulace@.) 
C. elata: pubescens v. glabra, caule erecto elato simplici tereti, 
foliis sessilibus erectis oblongo-lanceolatis acutis acuminatisve rigidius- 
culis margine vix revolutis denticulatis, spicd foliosa cylindracea com- 
posita, floribus fasciculatis v. racemulosis bractea folios4 sub-brevioribus, 
lobis calycinis inciso-dentatis v. subpinnatifidis petalis vix duplo bre- 
vioribus, antheris dorso hispidis.

Has. a, Drakensberg, Orange Free State, T. Cooper, 1087. 3. Zululand, Natal, 
Gerrard & M* Ken, 1462. (Herb. T. C. D.) 
Descr.—Root 2 Stem 3-4 feet high, robust, rigid, round, either gla- 
brous or more or less pubescent, leafy throughout, and ending in a leafy, 
thyrsoid spike. Leaves 2-3 inches long, 3—} inch wide, sessile, erect, 
penninerved and veiny, oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, glabrous or pu- 
bescent, the uppermost shorter and narrower, passing into bracts at the 
inflorescence. racts leaflike, longer than the flowers. Flowers, three, 
four, or more together, in small tufts or short racemes in the axils of the 
bracts, subsessile, bracteolate at base. Calyx-tube shortly turbinate ; 
lobes lanceolate, deeply incised or pinnatifid, two-thirds as long as 
corolla. Petals narrow, subequal, erect, with recurved, channelled 
points. Filaments hairy ; anthers dorsally hispid. : 
This, with the exception, perhaps, of C. Gerrardi (an unpublished 
species) is the tallest and most robust of the genus, having the aspect of 
some coarse-growing, virgate species of Campanula. Except in pubes- 
cence, which varies in amount in different individuals, Mr. Cooper’s and 
Messrs. Gerrard and M‘Ken’s plants agree. The calycine lobes are re- 
markably deeply cut, or even pinnatifid.
