 SmitskraaJ in the Boshof District. The solitary cordate-ovate

 the Mora where the grass tufts are scattered. As far as can he 

 gathered from the Flora, Capensis, this species is confined to the 

 Southern Bechuanaland Region, having heen collected only from 

 Dutoit's Pan, Griqttaland West (Tuck, MacOwan), and the 

 Batlapin Territory of Bechuanaland (Holub).

 Cawood's Hope plant are broader than in the Smitskraal form.

 — In Burtt-Davy and Appleton, loc. cit., Dr. Stapf has adopted
