MONOGBAPHIA LEPIGONORUM. 17 



Lepipomnn marginatnm /3 glandnlosum Harv. et Sond. Fl. Cap. p. 135. 



Icon. Jacq. I. c; nostra tab. I, f. 2. 



Hab. in Promontorio bonne spei, (Hb. Pries) ad Zout-Rivier (Bergius 

 in collect. Willden., hb. Mus. Berol. et Osbeck in hb. Mus. Holm.) 



Lepigono macrotheco , supra descripto, habitu valde affine, sed rece- 

 dit: cmde demum inferne quadi-angiüari , stipidis brevioribus, sepalis oblon- 

 gis, acutis, haud in acumen attenuatis, ideoque capsiüam fere sequantibus, 

 fetalis albis, seminibiis late alatis rufis v. paUide hiteis [v. sicc. sp). 



Facile quidem pro varietate glandnlosa Lepigoni marini habeatur, ut 

 contendimt Harvey et Sonder; concedimus enim, notas aUatas non plane 

 satisfacere. Specimina tarnen et figm-ge a Jacquin datée perspicue respon- 

 dent. Dum res in dubio est, observationes tantum in loco natali dijudicent, 

 num notée illse constantes sint, vel an transitus ad Lep. marinum exsistat.

 calycem fere sequans. Pedunculi apliylli , i. e. bracteis minutis nee foliis fiüti,
