40 CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 
the axils of the upper leaves, and of the scales or bracts which repre- 
sent the uppermost, 2-3-6 together, on very short pedicels. Calyx- 
tube obconic, ribbed, not half as long as the lobes. Corolla ringent, 
the 3 upper petals cohering, erect; 2 lower subulate, deflexed. Fila- 
ments hairy; also the connective, at back. : 
A pretty plant, easily distinguished from all the scandent species of 
Cyphia by its very broad leaves, resembling in shape those of the com- 
mon Hazel-nut.

162. LOBELIA CYPHIOIDES, Hary. (Campanulacee.) 
L. cyphioides : foliis radicalibus oblongo-obovatis obtusis basi in 
petiolo brevi angustatis membranaceis subtus pallidioribus utrinque 
tenuiter pubescentibus subrepandis y. obsolete crenulatis, caule floritero 
unifoliato in racemum multiflorum desinente, bracteis subulatis pedi- 
cello vix longioribus, floribus brevissime pedicellatis, calycis tubo tur- 
binato glabro, lobis subulatis tubo duplo longioribus, antheribus 2-in- 
ferioribus solum apice barbellatis. 
Has.—Cape, Lahaie. (Herb. T. C. D., comm. Cl. Delessert !) 
Descr.— Root fibrows, perennial. Radical leaves numerous, rosulate, 
2-3 inches long, 1-14 wide, of thin substance, pale or glaucous beneath, 
minutely pubescent on each side, oblong-obovate, obtuse, obsoletely cre- 
nulate. Stem scapelike, nude or with a single leaf about its middle, 
slender, ending in a lax, many-flowered raceme. Bracts 1-2 lines 
long. Flowers on very short pedicels. Calyx tube topshaped, glabrous ; 
its lobes subulate, twice aslong. Corolla 3 lines long, white ? (or blue ?), 
the 3 lower lobes lanceolate, undulate. Two stamens only hispidulous 
at top. 
Of this plant, which seems to be distinctly characterized, I have as 
yet only seen a single specimen, which came to me, through the late 
Count Limingan, from Herb. Delessert, under the name “ Cyphia 
phyteuma, W.;” a name hastily given by the curator of the herbarium, 
no doubt without examination. I cannot find any similar species 
among the many South African Lobelie known to me, nor do I recog- 
nise it in any of those described by De Candolle. Is it really, as stated, 
a native of the Cape Colony? If'so, I hope some of my obliging cor- 
respondents may ascertain its locality, and furnish us with additional 
specimens,

8. Saundersie : petiolo angusté alato, foliolis bijugis sessilibus ob-

rimo truncato y. minute denticulato.
