K. Dregeana, Turez. is based on Drége’s _ 6722 from the 
4uurebergen, Uitenhage Div. and is described as “ a K. ferruginea, 
KE. & Z. quae plerumque foliis integerrimis etiam gaudet, distin- 
guitur foliis basi alternatis, nec obtusis, pubescentia tenuissima 
albida nec rufa, glandulis a medio liberis, nec petalis ex toto 
adnatis.” The character of the leaf- -margin (serrate or entire) 
is unstable, both forms being found, not infrequently, on the: 
same branchlet 
43. ieeinca ferruginea, LE. d& Z., Enum. p. 15, 1835! 
Described as a shrub, 6-15 ft. high, and conspicuous by its 
dense rusty tomentum on both surfaces. Dr. Sim unites this 
with K. africana, L., but though forms of the latter sometimes 
aor a rusty tomentum there are differences in the flowers which 
may give tangible differentiating characters on further study. 
I entirely agree with Sim, however, in uniting typical K. Dre- 
geana, Turez. with K. africana, L. 
Ecklon & Zeyher attribute only 2 styles to this plant, but 
Harvey thought he detected the scars of five on old capsules; 
Pearson’s 6367 from the Khamiesberg (one of the type localities), 
which is obviously the same form, shows five styles, as does 
Drége’s specimen d from the Paarlberg, Paarl Div., which he 
labelled K. africana, L., perhaps on that account, though it 
matches the N amaqualand plant.

(1814); P. Kruegeri, Engl. in Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin ii. 26. 
A somewhat polymorphic species; the plant described as 
P. Kruegeri, Engl. has smaller flowers and shorter, rounder 
calyx-lobes than the typical form, but a study of the abundant 
material at Kew shows that intermediate forms occur and that 
the lobing of the calyx varies in flowers of the same inflorescence. 
There seems no valid reason therefore, for maintaining P. Krueger.
