This species collected by Prof. Pearson on his recent Percy 
Sladen Memorial Expedition (1915-16) to Keetmanshoop- 
Ababies- Windhoek, closely resembles 7. Hystriz, A. W. Hill 
and J’. hystricoides in its general spinous habit and wrinkled 
cortex. The flowers, however bear undulate lacinulae on the 
perianth segments which more or less enfold the anthers, and 
the nearest ally of this plant is no doubt 7’. lacinulatum, A. W. 
Hill, collected by Prof. Pearson in the Great Karasberg. 
In t ey to the species of Thesium given in the Flora 
Capensis it should be placed next to 7. lacinulatum.
