Pole Evans, I. B., A new Aloe from Swaziland. (Roy. Soc. 

 S. Africa Meet. 21th July 1915.) 



A rather remarkable new species of Aloe, found in Swaziland 

 by Mr. R. A. Davis in June, 1914, is described and named Aloe 

 s^Hprafoliata . It may be recognised by its distichous leaves, which 

 are rigid, somewhat fleshy and patent or gracefuUy recurved. The 

 flower Spike is slender, unbranched, and bears rather loosely-attached 

 rose doree flowers. The plants are usually found on the tops of 

 quartzite kopjes, and have been found at Stegi, Lebombo Range 

 and Korbes Reef. Author's abstract.
