limbo 2 mm. lat. ; lobi 4 mm. long. Antherae 3*5 mm. long. Stylus 

 usque 10-12 mm. exsertus ; stigma 1*5 mm. long. 



Allied to P. Oliveriana Hiern, but with, among other features, 

 larger leaves, congested inflorescences and much smaller flowers. 



Pavetta conflatiflora, sp. nov. Ramulis inferne nudis corticeque 

 pallido circumdatis superne foliosis necnon minute pubescentibus ; 

 foliis majusculis obovatis vel obovato-lanceolatis apice rotundatis 

 ipso obtusis basi in petiolum brevem extenuatis membranaceis supra 

 glabris subtus minute pubescentibus ; sti pulls late ovatis acutis dorso 

 pubescentibus ; cymis axillaribus longipedunculatis densifloris ; pedun- 

 culis foliis plane brevioribus puberulis ; pedicellis calyci circa sequi- 

 longis uti ovaria caljcesque griseo-pubescentibus ; ovario abb re via to 

 cylindrico ; calycis segmentis 4 oblongis obtusis ovarium l^-plo 

 excedentibus ; corollcs glabrae tubo cylindrico caljcem circa ter 

 superante lobis ovato-oblongis obtusissimis tubum vix semisequante ; 

 stigmate clavellato. 



Rhodesia, Livingstone ; No. 13535. 



Folia prof ec to evoluta 14-lG x 7-8 cm., in sicco grisea ; petioli 

 circa 1 cm. long. Stipulse 5 mm. long. Cjmse 2 x 2*5 cm. Pedun- 

 culus usque 7 cm. long. Pedicelli circa 3 mm. long. Ovarium 

 1 mm. long. Calycis segmenta 2 "5 mm. long. Corolla? tubus 

 7 X 1*5 mm. ; lobi 3 mm. long. Anthei*se oblongaj, breviter apiculatae, 

 3-3'5 mm. long. Stigma 2*5 mm. long. 



At first sight remarkably like the preceding : the more congested 

 axillary inflorescences and flowers with a shorter calyx and corolla 

 affoi*d an easy means of distinction. 



Tripteris auriculata, sp. nov. Herba erecta glanduloso-pubescens, 

 caule robusto simplici sat crebro folioso subtereti striato ; foliis 

 amplis oppositis (perpaucis ultimis alternis) petiolatis ovatis acutis 

 basi (ultimis exclusis) auriculis latis amplexieaulibus jDrseditis margine 

 conspicue indurato-dentatis leviter crassiusculis ; capitulis medio- 

 cribus paniculam oligocephalam folia superantem constituentibus ; 

 involucri campanulati phjdlis ovato-oblongis acutis margine sat late 

 seariosis ; ligulis circa 13 bene exsertis apice tridenticulatis ; ach(Bniis 

 fertilibus involucro circiter sequilongis muricatis alls tribus mediocriter 

 latis indutis. 



Transvaal, The Downs, Pietersburg Div. ; No. 20243. 



Caulis adusque 5-6 mm. lat. Folia pleraque 4-5 x 2-5-4 cm., in 

 sicco griseo-viridia ; petioli lati, 4-8 mm. long. Paniculae longit. 

 10 cm. attingentes vel etiam excedentes ; pedunculi proprii sub fructu 

 2-5 cm. long. Bractea? lineari-lanceolataj, 4: 10 mm. long. Invo- 

 lucra 8 X 10 mm. ; phylla 2 mm. lat. Ligulse flavse, lanceolato- 

 oblongae, 4-nerves, 11 mm. long. Fll. int corolla? vix 4 mm. long. 

 AchsB'nia 8 mm. long. ; alie 2*5 mm. lat. ; achaenia abortiva 3 mm. 

 long. 



When not in flower this might almost be taken for Osteospermum 

 monilifemivi L. The affinity is with T. amplexicaulis Less. The 

 petioled foliage and broad involucral leaves serve to separate it on 

 sight from broad -leaved specimens of T. amplexicaulis.
