 E. Mey., is a long-peduncled form, but not a distinct variety, of 

 G. baccifera y Linn. ; var. dilatata, E. Mey., is however a distinct 

 and valid variety, almost entitled to rank as a species. 



(7. jasminoides, E. Mey., is the species figured as G. jas-

 herbarium Ave learn, that Meyer was aware that this species had 

 been named C. tabular is, but that Meyer had been unable to 

 ascertain when or by whom the name had been applied.

The specimens named C. linoides by E. Meyer represent three 

 species. Those from Rondebosch, from Ezelsbank and from the 

 Kaffirkuils River belong to G. linoides, Linn. That from Wupper-

G. lychnoides, E. Mey., is not, as Meyer thought, G. lychnoides. 

 Berg. (<7. linoides, Linn.). It is not quite G. lychnoides, Linn. 

 (G. j asmino ides , var. viminea, Griseb.), but it is very nearly so, 

 because it is G. elongata, Eckl. (the narrow-leaved form of true
