10 (30(S). A. 2J>^tttensis, Bak., is common in some places near 

 Grahamstown amongst rocks on the edges of grass veldt. It 

 flowers in September. Dr. P. MacOwan, in confirming my deter- 

 mination, told me that it is the same plant which he collected on 

 the Boschberg. The colour of the perianth is yellowish-red, with 

 some green in the centre of the tips. The perianth-leaves are 

 quite free. Sim no. 4104: (Indwe, Dec. '99), collected in fruit only, is 

 probably the same species. 



13 (309). A. longiHtylci, Bak. — This plant is represented in our 

 Herbarium from Brak Kloof near Grahamstown (collected by 

 Mrs. G. White), Sheldon (collected by Mrs. C. Hutton), Somerset 

 East and Laingsburg (collected by Dr. R. Marloth). I have no 

 doubt of the correctness of the identification, but I find that the 

 length of the perianth-tube varies. It is sometimes | of the length 

 of the perianth. Again the stamens are not "slightly" exserted as 

 stated by Baker (Flora Cap. VI, p. 309), but the longest of them 

 protrude sometimes nearly \ inch while the style may protrude as 

 much as 1 inch. The flowers are very decidedly protercgynoiis 

 The perianth is coloured salmon-pink with a tinge of green in 

 centre of tips. It has often been confused with some forms of A. 

 humilis, with which, however, it can scarcely be said to be allied. 

 It flowers in July. 



14 (310). A. Kcldonis, Salm-Dyck. — A specimen collected by 

 Glass (no. 5G3) in Howison's Poort, close to Grahamstown, is in the 

 Cape Government Herbarium, and Mr. H. G. Flanagan has found 

 it near Komgha (no. 1713, Feb. '93, alt. 2000'). 



17 (310). A. lineata, Haw. — This species is very common near 

 Grahamstown at an altitude of about 2000'. In its native state it 

 is is frequently 4-5' high, the trunk is covered with the old leaves, 

 and is frequently branched from the base. It flowers from 

 January to March. The following notes are from wild specimens : 



Bracts at first closely imbricated, boat-shaped, green with red- 

 dish tips aud darker longitudinal lines, margin hyaline, white. 



Perianth 1|" long, almost straight, slightly constricted above the 

 base ; outer petals of a pale brick-colour (testaceus)^ petals 

 almost free, only slightly cohering at the base;' but with 

 lighter margin and green centre at the tips, inner petals with pale 

 brick-coloured keeled centre which becomes green near the tip 

 and with broad almost white margin. 



19 (311). A. striata. Haw.— This species is also fairly common 

 uear Gi'ahamstown where it flowers in midwinter, and where it is
