52 and tbe orifice surrounded by an elliptic dark green line or row 

 of dots; when in active growth, if held at a proper angle to re- 

 flected light the dots (when viewed with a lens) are seen to be 

 shining while the rest of the surface is opaque. Flowers not 

 seen. 



Little Namequaland* Ugrabis ^^^ountain, in the ^ichtersveld, 

 Lferloth 6941. 



Of all the ST^ecies sent to me by ^r. ^^rloth that he collected 

 during his expedition to the ^ichtersveld, in Little Nanaqualand, 

 t^is hximble scecies appealed to me as being the most distinct in 

 its general apreerance; I have therefore much pleasure in dediceting 

 it to his memory as a slight but grateful acknov/ledgement of the 

 aid and information he has on many occasions given me during my 

 work upon these plants. C, I^-arlothii differs from all known 

 species by its laxly-forked stems clothed with hard, smooth, brown 

 sheaths, very different in character from the brovm sheaths, very 

 different in character from the brown, grey or white friable sheaths 

 that are usually found on these plants and by its small, flat- topped 

 growths, sprinkled v;ith dots that shine when held at a certain angle 

 to the light, while the remainder of the^^surface is opaque. 



To a certain extent the grov^ths of C, ^"^rlothii resemble those 

 of G. iubusanum, but in the latter snecies they are smaller, of a 

 darker green, more crowded, and not on lax stems, and have friable 

 greyish sheaths, and the c'ots are more numerous. 



?or the illustration of this species I em indebted to the cour- 

 tesy of I-onsieur ^r. de Leet. 



C. "*everi, W. ^. By, (Fig. 3l). — I am now able to illustrate 

 this species from an excellent photograph sent to me by ^'-onsieur 

 Fr. de Laet, 



C. misellum, K. E, 3r,-- ^rov/ths small, 4-5 lines high, 2^-3^ 

 lines in diameter, obovoid, 



53 elliptic or circuler in outline viewed from above, convex at the 

 top, with a slight notch at the orifice (type somev^hat like E, ) , 

 and a faint keel on each side of it; orofice f-line long; surface 

 smooth, glabrous, green, with a darker line along the keel and 

 another outling in the lips of the orifice, and a few separate 



dark dots Irregularly scattered over the ton, but all these markings 

 are rather indistinct, yet in full sunshine the line on the keel 

 v/ould probably be purrlish. Flowers unknown. 



Little Namaoualand: '"itklin Poort, near Ugrabis, in the 

 Richtersveld, I^arloth 6933. 



This small species is but little larger than 2. saxetanum, 

 N, "HI. Br,, which it somev/hat resembles in general ar^pearance. ^e- 

 scribed from a living nlant sent to me by ^r. i-ilerioth. 



C, Muiri, K. E, B.r — Growths as received small, nearly as type 

 ■5. , 3-4 lines high and 2-4 lines in diameter, elliptic or nearly 

 circular in outline and convexly flattened at the top, v;ith a very 

 slight note''" at the center and no trace of any ridge; orifice *-i 

 line long; surface smooth, glabrous, of a light glaucous-green or 

 chalky-green colour, indistinctly marked v/ith irregularly scattered 

 dots of a slightly darker tint, usually senerate, but on some growths 

 here and there connected into lines and the orifice enclosed in an 

 ellintic or diamond-shaped line of the same dark tint. Calyx- tube 

 about 1^-line long and « line in diameter, 4-5 lobed; lobes i 

 line long, ovste, reddish, ^orolla-tube about as long as the calyx-
