but on longer claws, which are densely ciliate throughout, and 

 suddenly expanded into a lamina. Style glabrous. 



Constantiaberg. Nov., Wollci/ Dad, 1935. 



Very near A. rubra, but differing in its ciliate leaves, much 

 longer glabrous peduncles, and shorter glabrous calyx. 



Phylica Dodii N. E. Brown, sp. n. Shrubby, branched. 

 Branches terete, glabrous, densely leafy. Leaves alternate, spread- 

 ing or ascending, more or less incurved, 3-8 lines long by |-1 line 

 wide, very shortly petiolate, linear, exstipulate, pungent-mucro- 

 nate, the margins strongly revolute, the upper ones pubescent, the 

 lower glabrous. Heads 1 inch in diameter, involucrate. Outer 

 bracts 6-7 lines long by 1-1^ line broad, lanceolate, acute, softly 

 pilose-pubescent, at length reflexed, the inner smaller. Flowers 

 sessile, bibracteolate. Bracteoles opposite, lf-2i^ lines long by 

 ^-^ line wide ; linear or filiform, longly adpressed-pilose. Calyx 

 externally adpressed-pilose, internally glabrous, 5-lobed ; tube 

 If line long, lobes If line long, ^ line wide, attenuate, acute. 

 Petals minute, f line long, ^ line wide, lanceolate, acuminate, 

 glabrous. Filaments abruptly reflexed at the middle. Style ^ line 

 long. 



Paulsberg slopes near the sea. Sept., WoUey Dod, 2872. 



Somewhat resembling F. capitata L., but differing in its much 

 smaller heads, with much shorter and broader bracts. 



Crassula tenuis, sp. n. Annual, much branched, slender, 

 diffuse, glabrous. Leaves opposite, subsessile or sessile, l^-lf line 

 long by ^-f line wide, elliptical or oblanceolate, very obtuse. 

 Peduncles axillary, extremely slender, ^-1 inch long. Flowers about

Rocky shore near Kamp's Bay, Wolley Dod, 3369, Oct. Signal 

 Hill, Wilms, 3252. 



Distinguished amongst its allies in § GlumeratcB by its very diffuse 

 slender habit, elliptical leaves, and very long very slender peduncles. 



Stoebe rosea, sp. n. Shrubby, much branched, the branches 

 glabrous, erect ; leaves 2-3 lines long by ^ line wide, linear, densely 

 set, spirally twisted, with a callous subpungent point, silky or some- 

 what floccose when young, but soon becoming glabrous. Flowers in 

 dense subspherical heads, 5-6 lines in diameter ; involucral scales 

 If -2 lines long, yellowish brown, very acute ; corolla bright deep 

 rose ; pappus densely plumose, snow-white, conspicuously exceeding 

 corolla. Young achenes glabrous. 



Locally frequent from Muizenberg southwards. Jan. -March, 

 Wolleij Dod, 273, 2417. 



Apparently confounded with S. ntldopka, but quite unaccount- 

 ably so, that being a much stouter larger plant, with spreading or 

 prostrate branches, much larger flower-heads, with white corolla, 

 at least in Peninsula examples, though Harvey describes them as 

 bright purple. Its pappus is not conspicuous as in S. rosea. 



Matricaria sabulosa, sp. u. Annual ?, prostrate, stout, 

 corymbosely branched above, glabrous, but covered all over with
