 1894, R. Schlechter, No. 5213. 



This is one of the most distinct species known to me of this 

 highly interesting genus, which is confined to the south-western 

 corner of the Cape Colony. Including E. iMcata Schinz, there are 

 five known species : some of these seem to be not really distinct ; 

 but this is a question which cannot be settled without careful 

 examination of E. Meyer's and E. Brown's types. During my last 

 journey along the west coast of the southern part of the Cape 

 Colony I have therefore collected as much material as possible of 

 all the species, and hope to be able, with the aid of these, to work 

 out the genus properly. 



MERIONETHSHIRE PLANTS. 



By the Rev. W. R. Linton, M.A. 



The plants recorded in the following list were found in three 

 different districts of Merionethshire, where I spent a few days in 

 August; viz., at Corwen, at Rhydymaen and Drwsynant, from four 

 to six miles from Dolgelly on the Bala road, and about Llanfair, 

 two miles S. of Harlech, on the coast. The new records do not 

 appear in To}). Hot., 2nd ed., nor in the Journal of Botany from 

 1883 to 1894 inclusive. One record from Festiniog belonging to 

 the year 1892 is also inserted. I am indebted to the Rev. W. 

 Moyle Rogers for kindly looking over tbe Eubi, and corroborating 

 or correcting my naming of them. The list of records follows the 

 Lond. Cat., ed. 9, in order and nomenclature, and localities are 

 given in the succeeding notes.
