sand, near Cabo Negro ; fl. Sept. 1859. No. 6024.

it differs by the fewer calyx-lobes and by the hairiness of the lower part 
of the filaments, etc.

Loanpa.—Pedunceles glabrous, axillary ; calyx but little or scarcely 
inflated at the base, simply tubular, 5-nerved, green between the 
nerves with raised veiny rugosities; corolla yellow-greenish when 
young, soon turning white, transversely wrinkled at the nerves which 
run out into the lobes ; capsule globose, shining, brown, beset all over 
with pyramidal prickles which are rather hard at the apex; seeds 
reniform, brown. In cultivated plots and neglected fields, more or less 
solitary ; at Imbondeiro dos Lobos ; fl. and fr. end of July 1858. The 
flowers give off the nauseous smell of the genus less than the leaves. 
No. 6042. Stem 3 to 4 ft. high, divaricately branched, atropurpureous, 
quite shining, woody at the base ; flowers not foetid ; the tube pale 
whitish-yellowish. On maritime sands of the Cazanga island, where 
it is wild and abundant ; fl. and fr. 14 Mar. 1858. The shining violet 
colour of the stems and leaves ornament the very white sands to a 
remarkable degree, especially when the not less abundant Tribulus 
terrestris is also present with its large golden-yellow flowers.
