24 DECADES PLANTARUM NOVARUM AUSTRO-AFRICANARUM. 



pubei'ulis. 0*4 cm. longis ; corolla 1-2-1 -5 cm. longa, infundibularis, 

 tiibo e basi ampliato, lobis rotundatis obovatis, glaberrima ; ovario 

 villoso, loculis 2-ovulatis ; stylis dimidio inferiore villosis, dimidio 

 superiore glabris. 



In regione aiistro-occidentali : In arenosis sub fructibus in 

 monte Pakbuibberg, Jul. ]896; L. C. Leipoldt, No. 294. 



Approaching O. stenucarpa Schltr. and O. brachycarpa Scliltr., 

 differing fiom the former by tbe much shorter fruit; from the latter 

 by much denser indument, shorter tube to the corolla, and the 

 styles. I have not seen tubers. The flowers are white, with a 

 salphur-yeliow tube. 



62. Oxalis Leipoldtii, sp. n. Herba pereunis, gracilis, fere spi- 

 thanitea ; caule stricto vel subtiexiioso, simplici, teretiusculo, glandu- 

 loso-puberulo, foliato; foliis omuibus sessUibus, trifoliolatis, foliolis 

 subcTequilongis linearibus vel cuneato oblongis, glanduloso-puberulis, 

 intus ghibris, 0-3-0-5 cm. longis ; pedicellls axillaribus, erecto- 

 patentibus filiformibus, glanduloso-puberulis sub anthesi 1-5-2 cm. 

 longis, post anthesin eloiigatis, usque ad 4*5 cm. longis ; bracteolis 

 uullis; calyce dense glanduloso-puberulo, 0-2-0'3 cm. loiigo, seg- 

 mentis lineari-lanceolatis acutis ; corolla alte infundibular!, 1-5- 

 1-6 cm. longo, tubo apicem versus paulo dilatato, illo 0. piDpurata 

 Thbg. simili, glaberrimo, segmentis rotundatis basin versus an- 

 gustatis, glabris ; stylis basi hispidulis, dimidio superiore glaber- 

 rimis, ovario strigoso ; capsula rotundata, strigosa, calycem baud 

 excedente ; seminibus oblongis. 



In regione austro-occidentali : In collibus pone villam Clan- 

 william, alt. c. 400 ped., Juuio 1897 ; L. C. Leipoldt. 



This species should be placed next to 0. viscosa E. Mey., from 

 which it is separated by the slenderer pedicels, the want of the 

 bracteolae, the longer and more cylindrical corolla-tube with a 

 purplish limb. 



I have not seen tubers, but, judging from a few scales adhering 

 to the roots, they most resemble those of 0. glabra Jacq. The 

 stems appear to grow in tufts, like those of 0. multicaalis E. Mey.
