I propose a new section for this remarkable species, § Oppositi-

 0*4 cm. latis ; floribus ad apices ramulorum singulis, subsessilibus, 

 niveis, c. 1-3 cm. diametientibus ; calyce fere 0-6 cm. longo, sparsim

In regione austro-occidentali : In montibus Cederbergen prope 

 montem '' Sneeuwkop," alt. inter 3500 et 4500 ped., Oct. 1897; 

 A. A. Bodkin (No. 8629 in herb. Bolus et proprio). 



One of the many striking novelties which have come lately from 

 the " Cederbergen " and " Kondelbergen," in the Clanwilliam dis- 

 trict. Its nearest ally, as far as I can discover, is A. ciliata Sond. 

 from Muizenberg.
