Aloe. 285 



(No. 16 ; 24.10; in Burke's (?) handwriting), collected between 

 Botha's Hill and Grahamstown, October. Galpin, No. 6561, from 

 Oxton, near Whittlesea, is also this species. 



Zeyher, No. 1178, from " rocky places near Lislap, 3rd & 1th alt.. 

 May," is evidently closely allied to A. prateims, though probably 

 a distinct species. The flowers and inflorescence ajjpear to be similar, 

 the leaves are, however, in Zeyher's specimen much thicker, 

 narrower and armed with longer and stronger prickles. 



11 (308). A. virens, Haw. — I have received live specimens of 

 this species from Mr. A. Berger, La Mortola, Ventimiglio, Italy. 

 They flowered in July and December, 1901. I found the perianth 

 usually decidedly curved, which is also shown in the published 

 figures. 



12 (309). A. B()wie\, Haw. — A live specimen received from 

 Kew, flowered in Grahamstown, January, 1901, and again towards 

 the end of the year. 



13 (309). A. longistyki., Bak., occurs at Pearston (Brouni) and 

 Aberdeen, CO. (Magennis). 



13a. A. Peglerce^ Schonl. (Rec. Alb. Mus. I. p. 118) was sent by 

 Mr. Burtt-Davy f rom the Origstad Valley, Transvaal. 



14 (309). A. Ecldoms, Salm-Dyck.— A plant from the 

 Kasouga sandhills, presented by Di'. H. Becker, is undoubtedly 

 this species. It agrees very closely with Salm-Dyck's figure and 

 description, only the colour of the outer perianth leaves is dirtj- 

 red, tinged with dirty green near the apex, the inner ones are 

 green along the centre and have a Ijroad whitish margin. — This 

 species is closely allied to A.Boylei, Bak. 



15 (310), A. J)revifolia, Mill, and the var. depressa were received 

 from lia Mortola, and flowered in the Museum grounds in Dec. 

 1904,, the. var. postgenita, also from La Mortola, flowered Feb. 1904. 



16 (310). A. .serrrt, DC. was. also received alive from La 

 Mortola. It flowered in Grahamstown Dec. 1901. According to 

 Mr. Berger it is nothing but /I. h rev i folia depressa with continuous . 

 horny margin, an opinion in which I concur. 



18(311). A. lieteracantha, Bak., was received fi-om Kew in 

 1902, and from La Mortola -in '1903. Neither -has flowered ••y«t:
