To be compared witli G. Lichfeiiateinii Less, which has obovate- 

 spathulate entire or at most lobed spiimlose-oiliate leaves, heads 

 \iithout tlie basal cup and a somewhat different involucre.

Transvaal, on the Selati Ey. between Komati Poort and Letaba 

 River, alt. 1000-2UUO ft. ; n. 2(584. 



Folia plerumque 1-0-4 mm., summum -25 mm. lat. Pedicelli 

 circa 4 mm. long., horum bi-acteae foliis svmunis similibus, I'o mm. 

 long. Ovarimn 1 mm. long., calycis segmenta 1"5 mm. long. Corollae 

 tubus 3-5 mm. long, basi 1'5 mm. lat., sursum 1 mm. ; lobi 2'5 mm. 

 long. Stydus 4-5 mm. long. ; stigmatis rami 1 mm. long. 



Besides the corolla above described there was found on one of the 

 specimens a flower with campanulate corolla, its tube 2 mm. wide at 

 the base gradually widening to 3 mm. at the throat. The stigma of 

 this flower is 4-armed. 



In habit this is a good deal like W. romnlosa E. Mey., but the 

 imbricate leaves on the young branehlets give it a somewhat different 

 appearance. The corolla of W. graciUiina is at least twice as long 

 as that of the other species.
