Additions to the ' Orchids of the Cape Peninsula.' 



In my work bearing the above title, published by the South- 

 African Philosophical Society in its * Transactions,' Vol. Y, 

 Part I (1888), there are enumerated 102 species of Orchids 

 growing within the limits of the Cape Penusula. Since then 

 thirteen more species have been discovered, bringing the total 

 up to 115 species. Pending the issue of a list with complete 

 descriptions, I have thought it would be useful to possessors of 

 the above work to have even a mere enumeration of the additional 

 species, with such brief notes as may aid in their identification. 



Holothrix exilis, LindLi/, rar. bracliylabris. — Bolus, Icon. Orch. 

 Austr.-Afr. t. 14. — Table Mt., Schlechtcr. — Eesembles H. villosa, 

 Lindley, but differs by its undivided hp, which readily dis- 

 tinguishes it. 



Satyrium erectum, Swart:. — Table Mt., south side, ScJdechter. 

 Habit of S. candidum, Lindley, but the perianth segments more 

 spreading, and rose-coloured. 



Satyrium retusum, Lindley. — Table Mt., Scldechter. — Near to 

 S. Lindleyanum, Bolus, and S. bicallosum, Thunb., with longer 

 spurs than the former, and the apex of the hp not deflesed as in 

 the latter. Flowers small, white.

 berg, 400 meters, fl. Jan., Bodkin.
