feature of the species, which is present also in a few others, is that the 
limb of the posticous perianth-segment is glabrous or nearly so, whereas 
those of the lateral and anticous segments are adorned on the back 
with a beard of long hairs. The plant appears to be of very restricted 
distribution, having so far been found only in the neighbourhood of 
French Hoek.—J. Hutcurnson.
