monte Matroosberg, alt. c. 6000 ped., Dec. 1892; Dr. R. Marlcth, 

 No. 2216. 



Somewhat resembling P. cunei/uUum Bth. from the south-eastern 

 region, but well distinguished by the indumentum, the leaves, and 

 larger flowers with a proportionately longer tube. I have not seen 

 this rare plant in any other collection.

 5-8 cm. alta, basi parum ramosa ; foliis patentibus vel erecto- 

 patentibus, textura crassiore, inferioribus obovatis subacutis vel 

 obtusis petiolatis, parum dentatis, nunc subintegris, usque ad 2 cm. 

 longis, supra medium usque ad 0'7 cm. latis, superioribus sensim 

 angustioribus sessilibus, plus minusve albido-pilosis, in bracteas 

 decrescentibus; spicis cylindricis, vel ovoideis, densiusculis; floribus 

 croceis subcorymbosis ; bracteis foliaceis calycem vel fructum exce- 

 dentibus ; calyce alte bilabiato, villoso, labiis squilongis, inferiore 

 breviter exciso, superiore tridentato, 0*7 cm. longo ; corollae tubo 

 tenuissimo subfiliformi-cylindrico, puberulo, faucibus vix ampliatis, 

 c. 3 cm. longo, 0-1 cm. diametiente, segmentis divaricatis, alte 

 emarginatis, croceis, lobulis rotundatis, faucibus pilosis; stylo fili- 

 formi, corolhe tubum paulo excedente ; filamentis tenuissimis, glabris ; 

 ovario glabro ; capsula oblonga, calyci asquilonga. 



Habitat in regione austro-orientali : In monte Andriesberg, 

 prope Queenstown, alt. 6350 ped.. Mart. 1895 ; E. E. Galpin, 

 No. 1927. 



In general appearance this species somewhat resembles Z. sela- 

 (j'mea Walp., but the pubescent corolla-tube, the leaves, and the 

 fruits distinguish it well. The tube of the flowers and the lower 

 surface of the lobes are whitish ; the upper surface of the latter is 

 bright orange, a colour not found before in the flowers of this 

 interesting genus. 



28. Stachys simplex, sp. n. Herba perennis, simplex erecta, 

 20-40 cm. alta ; caule angulato stricta, dense villoso, dimidio 

 inferiore deusius medio laxe foliato ; foliis ovato-oblongis vel 

 lanceolato-oblongis obtusis vel subacutis, margiue grosse dentatis, 

 basi in petiolum brevem angustatis vel subsessilibus utrinque velu- 

 tinis, 2-5 cm. longis, 1-1-5 cm. latis, superioribus sensim minoribus, 

 floralibus abbreviatis, calyces vix excedentibus ; spica sublaxa, 

 cylindrica, elongata, usque ad 15 cm. longa, vix 2 cm. diametiente; 

 verticillis 5-7-floris ; floribus niveis breviter pedicellatis, illis S. ar- 

 vensis L. subajquimagnis; calyce villoso, tubo segmentis vix longiore, 

 segmentis deltoidis pungenti-mucronatis, corolla} tubo brevioribus ; 

 corolla extus villosa, calycem duplo excedente, tubo cylindrico, 

 c. 0*6 cm. longo, c. 0*2 cm. diametro, labio superiore concavo 

 obtuso, intus glabro labio inferiori duplo fere breviore, labio inferiore 

 0-6 cm. longo, trilobato, lobis latcralibus minutis, intermedio sub- 

 quadrato, obtusato; filamentis filiformibus glabris, autheris minutis 

 oblongis, longioribus 2 apicem labii superioris vix attiugentibus ; 

 stylo tiliformi glabro, labium superiorem excedente. 



Habitat in regione austro-orientali : In graminosis montium
