 Hab. Perie bush, King William's Town ; S. Schdnland, No. 847 

 This plant is allied to C'. spathulata Thunberg and C. iielJucida 

 L. (= C.centauroides'Li.). The round shortly-petioled leaves serrate 

 at the margin, not broadly cordate, but rounded at the base, at once 

 distinguish this plant from its near allies. The inflorescence is sub- 

 similar to that of C. spathulata Thunb., but in this case distinctly 

 terminal, not at all lateral, and apparently not so consistently 

 divaricate. 



C. latispathulata, sp. nov. Caulis in specimine nostro 16- 

 20 cm. longus, internodiis c. 1*8 cm. longis, inferne efoliatus ad 

 nodos radicans. Folia opposita, plana, glabra, internodiis longiora, 

 ovata vel elliptica, margiue crenata vel crenato-serrata, ad basin in 

 petiolum gradatim attenuata, apice acuta, cum petiolis 3-3-3 cm. 

 longa, 1'2-1'5 cm. lata. Flores in cymos terminales et paniculatos 

 dispositi. Bracte^ sub pedanculis pedicellisque duae oppositse, 

 minutae vel minutissimae. Sepala oblonga, obtusa, petalis multo 

 breviora. Petala angusti-lanceolata-acuminata, alba, c. 3*5 mm. 

 longa. Carpella oblique lanceolata, stylis filiformibus, squamis 

 brevibus subrectangularibus. 



Hab. Zuurberg, alt. 3000 ft. ; J. M. Wood, No. 457. Herb. 

 Mus. Brit. 



Allied to C. cyclophylla and C. Inandensis. This plant differs 

 from C. cyclophylla in the shape of the lamina of the leaf, which is 

 considerably longer than broad, and at the base tapers gradually to 

 the petiole. The shape of the leaves is very similar in C. Inandensis, 

 but the branching of the inflorescence is entirely different, the 

 peduncles ni C. latisjjathulata being dichotomously branched. The 

 leaves and flowers are smaller in C. latispathulata than in C. Inan- 

 densis. 



C. Inandensis, sp. nov. Caulis procumbens, ad nodos inferi- 

 ores radicans, in specimine nostro 30 cm. longus, internodiis 

 3-4*7 cm. longis. Folia opposita minute squamulosa, internodiis 

 breviora vel interdum longiora, ovata vel elliptica, margine denticu- 

 lata vel subdenticulata, ad basin in petiolum gradatmi attenuata, 

 plana, apice acuta, cum petiolis 4-6 cm. longa, l'5-2-8 cm. lata. 

 Flores in cymos trichotomos et terminales dispositi. Bracteae sub 

 pedunculis pedicellisque duae opposite, minutissimae. Sepala ob- 

 longa, obtusa, petalis multo breviora. Petala alba, concava, 

 angusti-lanceolata, acuminata, c. 4 mm. longa. Carpella oblique 

 lanceolata, stylis filiformibus, squamis subrectangularibus. 



Hab. Natal: Inanda ; J. M. Wood, No. 764. In flower, Dec. 

 1880. Herb. Mus. Brit. 



This plant is allied to C. sarmentosa Harvey, and, like that plant, 

 roots at the lower nodes. The stem is not so stout as in C. sarme^i-
