Hab. Howhoek, 2000 ft. ; i?. 8chlechUr, 7378, Feb. 1896. 



The two brancbes in Herb. Albany Museum are respectively 

 21 and 23 cm. long. The diameter of the inflorescence is in both 

 cases 2-5 cm.

Hab. French hoek in montibus, 2000 ft., by R. Schlechter, 

 9317, Nov. 1896. 



This plant combines to a certain extent the floral characters of 

 Spharitis and Glnhulea, though it seems to me more nearly allied to 

 the species placed under the former section. 



The two branches I have seen are respectively 32 and 23-5 cm. 

 long. In the former the lov/er densely foliate region is 9 cm. long; 

 then follows a portion with one pair of depauperated leaves 12 mm. 

 long, and the inflorescence is 11 mm. long. The corresponding 

 measurements of the other branch are 5 cm., 13-5 cm., 5 cm. 

 Here the second region has two pairs of depauperated leaves. 



C. subacaulis, sp. nov. Acaulis vel subacaulis. Folia omnia 

 radicalia, adscendeutia, imbricantia, basi connata, oblonga vel 

 oblongo-lanceolata, apice acuta vel subacuta, crassa, 2-5-3*8 cm. 

 longa, margine subserrata, glabra vel glabriuscula. Pedunculus 

 herbaceus, simplex, scapiformis, + 20 cm. altus, bracteis mem- 

 branaceis basi connatis. Cymuli giobosi, dense fasciculati, sessiles, 

 vel pedicellati. Sepala oblonga, ciliata, obtusa, petalis breviora. 

 Petala + 3 mm. longa. Carpella 2-5 mm. longa, stigmate dorsali, 

 squamis rectangulari-cuneatis. 



Hab. Steinkopf , on hiUs, alt. 2900 ft. ; B. Schlechter, No. 11498. 

 In flower Oct. 4, 1897. 



This plant belongs to § GJohulea. The leaves are all radical or 

 subradical, and in this respect resembles C. nudicaulis L. The 

 peduncle is scape-like, the dense globose cymules of flowers being 

 capitate, the lower ones being sessile or shortly stalked. This 

 plant is also closely allied to C. obvallata L. I have compared it
