7-8 mm. longus. Corolla glabra ; vexillum unguiculatum, 10 mm. 
altum, limbo fere orbiculato in unguem subaequilongum sensim 
pubescens, stylo graciliter arcuato glabro. 
SoutH Arrica. Central Region: (Graaff Reinet Div. ; on 
the slopes of mountains near Graaff Reinet, 1140 m. Bolus, 483. 
An exceedingly handsome and floriferous species, worthy of cul- 
tural attention, most closely allied to M. candicans, Ecklon & 
Zeyher, but distinguished by the more robust, floriferous habit, 
larger leaves, flowers and bracteoles. 
1346. Melolobium glanduliferum, Dimmer [Leguminosae-Genis- 
teae]; species M. decumbenti, Benth., persimile, sed spinis longi- 
rotundata aut acutata, inter se subaequalia, ad 5 mm. longa, vix 
coriacea, pallide viridia ; stipulae binae, arrectae, semicordato-lanceo- 
latae, acutae, petiolos subaequantes. lores perbreviter pedicellati, 
ad spinas inferne dispositi, flavidi?; bractea stipulis similis ; 
bracteola lanceolata, acuta, calycis tubum fere aequans. Calyx extra 
pubescens, glandulosus, 6 m. longus. Corolla glabra; vexillum 
unguiculatum, 8 mm. altum, lamina ovato-orbiculata ungui fere 
FRICA. Kalahari Region: Basutoland ; without precise 
locality, Cooper, 703. 
A species having the xerophytic spinescent habit of M. decumbens, 
Bentham, but differing in its glandulosity, relatively larger leaflets 
and smaller flowers. Specimens gathered by Mr. A. Haagner at 
Brandfort in the Orange River Colony (ex Herb. Conrath and 
Kew, 1189) may belong here, but lack of flowers renders this 
point undecisive. 
1347. Melolobium macrocalyx, Dimmer | Leguminosae-Genisteae] ; 
M. cernuo, Eckl. et Zeyh., affinis sed habitu magis distiche ramoso 
parce folioso, indumento canescente, foliolis brevioribus, floribus 
arrectis haud nutantibus, calyce corollam fere superante differt. 
Fruticulus inermis, gracilis, laxe distiche ramosus, parce foliosus ad 
0 cm. altus ubique corollis exceptis canescens, ramis lateralibus 
adscendentibus teretibus ad 8 em. longis. Folia trifoliolata, magis 
minusye arrecta ; petioli ad 2 mm. longi; foliola lineari-oblanceo- 
lata, acutata, carnosula, supra canaliculata, subtus convexa, terminalia 
ad 7 mm. longa, lateralia paullo aut duplo breviora; stipulae binae, 
arrectae, oblique lanceolato-ovatae, acutatae, basi paullulo auriculatae, 
4 mm. altae, intra glabrescentes. Spicae plurimae ad 5 cm, altae, 
4—7 florae, floribus arrectis flavidis? ; bractea stipulis similis nisi
