70 valves; exrendlniPr-keels contiguous end forming a stout, acute, 



brov,'n, central keel with broad, membranous pallid, marginal wings; 

 cells open, no tubercle. Seed about -J line long, ovoid, but much 

 compressed, with a very prominent nippel at one end, smooth,

Little Namacualend* On rocks, in the groge of the Kav/arass 

 River, in the Hichtensveld, i%rloth 6925. 



This plant ^ also owe to the kindness of Dr. ^-arloth. It 

 beTongs to the same group as 2. ^lishae and *-'. bilobum, but differs 

 from all other species that I have seen in its very distinctly and 

 broadly wedge-shaped groi\^hs, with the top of their lobes slightly 

 notched or truncate, ^-^hether it will retain this unique character 

 under cultivation remains to be seen, as -'• notice that some of the 

 npw growths are quite different in form, being obovoid with short, 

 rounded lobes on each side of the notch. 



C. tantillum, N. E. Br., in '^'he Ggrdeners* ^hronicle, 1926,, 

 vol. LXXIX, p. 12. ■'"his distinct species having now flowered 

 with me, the following corrected description of the flower may be 

 added! Calyx-4-lobed, tube only p^irtly exserted, 3 lines long, 

 whitish or pale greenish; lobes ^-4 "> ine long, greenish, but prob- 

 ably reddish in full sunshine. Corolla 6-7 lines in diameter, ex- 

 panding in daytime in dull or sunshiny weather, not scented; tube 

 5-6 lines long and 1-2 lines longer then the entire calyx, nearly 

 1 line thick, whitish; petals §,bout 20, recurved-spreading, in 1-2 

 series, ^-3^ lines long and f-t lines broad, linear, obtusely 

 rounded or faintly notched at the apex, bright magenta, ^taninodes 

 none. Stamens 35 or more, in about 4 series, in two upper series 

 exserted from the mouth of the corolla-tube; filaments end anthers 

 yellov/. Style 6 lines long and nearly as long as the longest sta- 

 mens; stigmas 4, minute, h line long, yellov;. 



Little ^'^a ma cue land; near ^teinkopf , i^^eyer, (iiarloth 65121 

 This is quite a pretty plant when nicely innflovver, although 

 it cannot vie with the beautiful C. minusculum, which has much 

 larger and much more richly-coloured flov/ers. 



3. LITIIOFS, N. E. Br. 



The follovring species are additional to those already described 

 in The Gardeners' Chronicle 1922, vol. LXi.I, x>. 55, and 1926, 



vol.LXXIX, p. 80. 



Lithor»s ^ulleri, N. E. ^t,— Growths about an inch high, 12-15 

 lines brof-d and 8-10 lines thick, obconic, elliptic in outline at 

 the fat top which has a fissure 5-6 lines deep across it, dividing 

 it into two contiguous lobes; surface glabrous, mooth on the sides 

 and margins of the top, which is rough from being covered with small 

 bumps caused by numerous impressed dendritis markings, light dove- 

 grey with a slight violaceous tint on the sides and margin of the 

 top, and the dendritic markings of a bright-rust-brown colour, making 

 a very nleasing contrast.^ F] oi/>;ers not seen. 



Kenhart division* ^^'ear ^^enhart, Fuller. 



This very distinct species was very kindly sent to me by Prof- 

 essor R.H.Compton, director of J^^irstenbosch -^otanic '^arden, with 

 the information that it was discovered near •'^enhert by ^^r. E, R, 

 Fuller, to whom I have much pleasure in dedicating this very r^retty 

 species, v/hich is, rerhar>s, more nearly allied to L, karasmontana , 

 N. E. Br,, than any other known srecies by its more crov;ded dendritic
