 Khamiesberg, Giftberg, and OliphanVs River Mountains, 1911. 



Branches glabrous. Leaves shortly petioled, 4-5 mm. long, flat or 

 sulcate above, convex or keeled below, subobtuse, glabrous. Floivers 

 in small terminal umbels. Pedicels 3 mm. long, terete, glabrous. 

 Calyx segments 1-5 mm. long, elliptic, obtuse, glabrous, with 2-3 

 cilia in the upper half. Petals abruptly clawed ; limb 1-3 mm. 

 long, 1 mm. broad, orbicular, glabrous. Fertile stamens 5 ; fila- 

 ments 1 mm. long, terete, glabrous ; anthers - 75 mm. long, sub- 

 globose. Sterile filaments 1 mm. long, linear, eglandular, ciliate 

 near the base. Disc 5-lobed. Ovary 05 mm. long, glabrous; style 

 1 mm. long, terete, glabrous ; stigma simple. 



This species is very near A. microphylla, G. P. Mey, var. staden- 

 sis (B. & Z. 899), but differs in the sterile filaments being eglandular 

 at the apex and not widened in the middle ; the corolla-limb is 

 orbicular and abruptly clawed, not oblong and narrowed into a claw.
