Apparently a perennial herbaceous plant, the length of speci- 

 mens examined being 8-10 inches. Stems slender, wiry, and 

 rather sparsely branching, covered with white felt-like hairs, 

 which are thicker on the younger branches. Leaves ovate- 

 lanceolar, half to one inch long, the under surface somewhat 

 densely villous, and with a fairly prominent midrib. Alter- 

 nate, shortly petiolate, the internodes being about 1 inch long. 

 Flowers terminal on the end of pedicels of about three-quarters 

 to one and a-half inches in length. Spikes almost hemi- 

 spherical, flowers sessile. Bracts small, concave, slightly hairy, 

 one to each flower, bracteoles larger, scarious and glabrous, 3 in 

 number. Perianth segments 5, the two outer larger ; the 

 scarious margin is blunt, slightly toothed and straw-coloured ; 

 outside quite covered over by the long jointed hairs which spring 

 from the lower half of the segments. 



TliQ outer segments measure about 1.5 lines, and the hairs 3.0 

 lines. 



Anthers 3, rather long, conspicuously 2-celled. innate ; fila- 

 ments not dilated at the base, united in a cup which is adherent 

 to the perianth tube. Ovary glabrous, style short and simple, 

 stigma capitate. 



Romulea (Trichonema) cruciata, Ker. Gawl. (Irideae).
