As regards foliage C. vaccinioides is almost a intermediate 
between C. crassifolia, Pax and C. Thunbergii, Sond., of whic 
latter species Dr. Pax has treated it as only a variety.

Cluytia Thunbergit was in 1843 tentatively seniot by E. 
Meyer with C. tomentosa, Linn., a species from this differs 
in having a glabrous ovary and more numerous potaling or intra- 
petaline glands. Sonder in 1850 described the species for the first 
time, and applied the name it now bears because of his belief that 
this is the plant described in Schultes’ edition of Thunberg’s 
Flora Capensis as C. tomentosa, According to Miiller, however, 
the C. tomentosa of the work in question is C. daphnoides, while 
the C. tomentosa of E. Meyer is only a variety of C. daphnoides, 
The truth appears to lie somewhere between these two views. The 
female specimen is not quite like the male ; ; it has very much 
shorter leaves and resembles the C. tomentosa of EK. Meyer—the 
C. kareensis of Schlecter, more closely than it does C. daphatsies 
Sonder was not the only botanist to arrive at this conclusion, Ther 
is a specimen in herb. Willdenow (n. 18599) of the same form as is 
prorated by the female sheet of C. tomentosa, Thunb., not of 
Linn. illdenow knew and figured C\. daphnoides, Lamk, yet it 
did not occur to him to include this short-leafed plant in Lamarck’s 
species ; he described it as C. pubescens snes she mistaken impres-
