4. Lycium oxycarpuniy Dun. in DC, Prodr. xiii. 518. Lyciuni 

 Afrum, Drege. — C. B. S. — v. s. in kerb. Hook. [Drege). 



The specimen above quoted is certainly distinct from L. Afrum ; 

 it is entirely smooth^ with large knotted glands in the axils_, out 

 of which the spines grow; the leaves are 9 to 14 lines long, 2 to 

 2|- lines broad; the pedicels are 5 lines long, the smooth cup- 

 shaped calyx \^\\ line long, the points of the angular teeth being 

 tomentose ; the corolla is tubular and smooth, the tube being 

 3| lines long, 1^ line diameter, with small round segments | line 

 diameter: the stamens are included, the filaments being dilated at 

 the base, and inserted near the bottom of the tube, and are almost 

 its length, subeqnal, slender and smooth : the style is exserted"^. 

 The variety a. grandiflorum of M. Dunal appears to be Lycium 

 austrinum, nob. ; var. 0. parviflorum and y. angustifolium may 

 probably be small-leaved varieties of L, oxycarpum^ but it is im- 

 possible to judge of this without examination.

In this specimen the spines are approximate, thick, horizontally 

 spreading, 1 to 1| inch long, bearing numerous fascicles of 

 leaves larger than those described by M. Dunal; they are from 

 4 to 6 lines long, 1 line broad : the peduncles are 2 lines long; 

 the calyx, slightly pubescent, is 1 line ; the tube of the corolla, 

 quite glabrous, is 6 or 7 lines long ; the lobes of the border are 

 nearly orbicular, smooth, and 1 line long ; the filaments are quite 

 smooth, and fixed in the middle of the tube; two of the anthers 

 reach the mouth, one is shorter, and the two others are a little 

 exserted : the style attains the length of the lower anther f.
