A second variety : 



A. ciliaris, Haw., var. FJanagani, Schonl. nova var, has ovate- 

 lanceolate leaves which are about 3" long and |" broad, the 

 marginal teeth are as minute as in var. Tidmarshi, but the 

 " cilia " on the sheath are larger. The flowers are of the same size 

 as in the type. 



Amongst shrubs near Komgha, H. G. Flanagan (no. 132G), Nov. 

 1892, alt. 1500'. 



I am indebted to Mr. H. G. Flanagan, F.L.S., for the loan of 

 this specimen. 



3() (318). A. striatala, Haw. — I owe a live specimen of this 

 plant to Mr. E. E. Galpin, F.L.S., who found it on mountain 

 summits, near Queenstown. (Alt. 4300'— 4900'— no. 2620). It 

 flowers in November. 



Dr. P. MacOwan, F.L.S., agrees with me that 



38 (319). A. MacOivani, Bak. cannot be separated from A. 

 striatula, Haw. 



The original plant from the Somerset P]ast District is still 

 growing in the Capetown Botanic Gardens. 



47 (321). A. siiccotrina, Lam. This species is not known to 

 me, but if the published illustrations and descriptions are correct, 

 then at least 2 species have been mixed up under this name. 

 Leaving out Bot. Mag. t. 472, which is evidently a very Imd figure, 

 we find that in D.C Plantes Grasses, t. 85, the perianth is cylin- 

 drical, whereas in Salm-Dyck, Aloe sect, xxii, fig. 1, it is distinctly 

 constricted above the base, tha sterile bracts in the former are 

 ovate-oblong, mucronate, in the latter semi-amplexicaul lanceolate- 

 acute and with eroso-dentate margin, &c. 



48 (322). A. piirpurascens, Haw.— I have identified with this 

 species a plant from False Bay which I received from Dr. H. 

 Becker, F.L. S., F.S.A., and this determination has been confirmed 

 by Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S. It flowers in Grahamstown in July. 

 The perianth is slightly curved and somewhat constricted 

 towards the middle. The outer petals are united at the base, red 

 tipped with dark green, the inner quite free, very pale red, keeled 

 with same colour as outer and with bright green tips. 



49 (322). A. arhurescens, Mill. — This species again is not 

 known to me for certain at present. Unfortunately there are
