Allied to C. WhiteheadU Harvey. Named in honour of the 

 collector, Herr Rudolf Schlechter. 



We have compared this plant with C. WhiteheadU Harvey, a 

 specimen of which exists in Harvey's Herbarium. There are 

 several points of difference : the leaves are longer than the inter- 

 nodes, which they are not in C. WhiteheadU, and the styles are not 

 shortly subulate. The cymules in 0. Faidolji are terminal, compact, 

 and usually more than 3-5-flowered; they are pauiculately arranged. 

 C. WhiteheadU Harvey has been gathered by Mr. W. C. Scully in 

 Namaqualand, No. 197. 



C. cyclophylla, sp. nov. Radix fibrosa. Caulis simplex, 

 herbaceus, glabriusculus, in specimine nostro c. 16 cm. longus, 

 nodiis remotis (internodiis 2-5-3-0 cm. longis). Folia suborbicu- 

 laria vel late ovata, opposita, patentia, viridia, plana, membranacea, 

 apice subacuta, basi rotundata, petiolata, margine graciliter serrata, 

 lamina 1 •8-2-2 cm. longa, 1-5-1 -8 cm. lata ; petioli 3-5 mm. longi.
