Amongst grass, neai- the Brickfields, Graliamstown, alt. c. 2000', 

 Miss M. Daly and Miss M. Sole, Aug. 1903. 



This species has some features in common with A . Piiannoidcs, 

 Willd., but in the latter the pedicels are |-1 inch long, the stamens 

 are exserted and the anthers are linear-oblong. It seems, however, 

 to come close to the incompletely known A. alhiniarginatum , 

 Schinz, in which, however, the bracts are ovate-lanceolate, the 

 claw of the petals is as long as the blade and the stamens as long 

 as the perianth segments.

A ndrocy milium Jongipes, Bak. — With this species I have 

 identified a plant which appeared in large numbers amongst grass 

 in the Drostdy grounds, Grahamstown, in Aug. 1903, and which 

 was collected by Miss M. Daly (No. 472). The following are notes 

 taken from some of her specimens : — 



Corm tunicated, about 20 mm. high and broad, but somewhat 

 compressed laterally ; underground neck 3.5-4 cm. long, bearing 

 3-4 sheathing foliage-leaves. Leaves lanceolate, acuminate, the 

 lowest usually 20-30 cm. long, but sometimes reaching a length of 

 50 cm., 20-22 mm. broad low down, distinctly plicate in the middle, 

 striate longitudinally, especially on the upper surface, glabrous, 

 thin, dark green with narrow whitish margin. Capitulum 1-4 

 flowered, bracts resembling the foliage leaves, but much smaller, 

 the older tiowers larger than the later ones, pedicels very short. 

 Petals 11-18 mm. long, white with a rosy tinge, claw slender, 

 longer than the blade, blade sub-ovate- lanceolate with incurved 

 edges ; stamens shorter than the blade of the petals, anthers 

 oblong ; ovaries slender, obliquely oblong, about the same length 

 as the slender styles and passing gradually into them. Capsules 

 and seeds not known. 



Anacampspros Alston/ i, Schonl. which was described on p. 51 

 is represented on Plate V, fig. 2.
