MossaMEDES.—A low shrub, 2 ft. high; stem glaucous ; branches 
numerous, very brittle, divaricate ; leaves spathulate, rather fleshy and 
flaccid, glaucous; calyx whitish, the segments ovate, transversely 
rugose, with a black midrib; corolla tubular, brilliantly vermilion ; 
ovary acutely conical ; ovule solitary, quite freely pendulous from the 
ascending filiform placenta. Ina sandy sub-maritime place between 
Mossamedes and Cavalheiros, abundant, but seen in only one spot ; 
end of June 1859, most of the corollas having fallen. No. 519. A 
very elegant undershrub, 14 ft. high, woody at the base ; leaves spathu- 
late, glaucous-pruinose ; flowers blood-red ; calyx white-greenish. In 
‘sandy places at the river Bero ; late fl. and fr. July 1859, in company

The specimens differ from the plant figured under this name by 
Harvey, Thes. Cap. ii. t. 198 (1863) by their leaves being neither 
-emarginate at the apex nor obcordate but obovate spathulate and 
rounded and abruptly acuminate at the apex, by their ovate-lanceolate 
long-acuminate not subulate bracts, and by their corolla-tube much 
exceeding the calyx. 
O. Kuntze, l.c., i. p. 37, uses the name Vogelia Medic., which he 
‘states was published a few months earlier than the above, for Neslia 
Desy. The correct name for the latter genus is, however, Spherocarpus 
Heist. ex Fabric. Enum. Meth. Pl. Hort. Helmst., edit. 2, p.51 (1763), 
‘the authority for which is not affected by Seguier having in 1745 
applied such a name for a different plant. Vogelia Gmel. (1791) has 
-been reduced to Burmannia L.
