as to the incidence of the name is removed by the fact that Wend- 

 tend, who grew the species at Herrenhausen under the name 

 C. tabularis, presented a specimen so named to E. Meyer, among 

 whose plants it still is. 



Chamisso and Sohlechbndal, in 1826, discussed cursorily the 

 Ghrromae from the Cape collected during the Romanzoff expedition 

 {Linnaea i pp. 190, 191) and in 1831 Chamisso alone dealt more 

 tuily witb the species sent by Ecklon from South Africa (Linnaea, 

 Ji., pp. d4£34o). Their G. baccifera, only alluded to in 1826, more 

 fully dealt with in 1831, is mainly G. baccifera, Linn. ; one of 

 ^cklon s gatherings is, however, G. baccifera, var. Burchellii. 

 O. frutescens, dealt with in both places, is G. frutescens, Linn. 

 {Orphium frutescens, E. Mey.). Chamisso and Schlechtendal 

 recognised two varieties, a Ursula and (3 glabra. There are two 

 tolerably distinct varieties in this species, one with flat, often 

 lairly broad and almost always pubescent leaves, the other with 

 ?w Ik ' alw »ys narrow and usually nearly glabrous leaves. The 

 varieties recognised by Chamisso and Schlechtendal do not quite 

 coincide with these apparently natural varieties, for our authors 



t U i + m th t ir var - hirsuia ^ch specimens of the narrow- 

 leayeu plant as chance to have pubescent leaves. This prevents 



nZJ^SZ •/ glabra from corresponding precisely to 

 0. caryophylloides, Linn. (C. angustifolia, Sims).

Zll f' b Sj d °V bted bein ^ a mminoides, Thunb. His
