 tenuiter albo-tomentosis, racerais terminalibus brevibus laxe 4-5 floris, 

 pedicellis filiformibus pubescentibus, bracteis subulatis, floribus magnis 

 speciosis pendulis, sepalis oblongis obtusis pubescentibus, petalis erectis 

 subinrequalibus imbricatis oblongis retusis glabris, disco cupulari ex 

 annulo brevi 10-lobo, lobis erectis eglanduliferis subulatis acutis 

 irregulariter lacerato-dentatis, staminibus longe exsertis, iilamentis

Hab. Cape Colony (South-eastern Region), exposed rocky slopes 

 near Komgha, alt, 2,000 ft., fl. Nov., //. G. Flanagan (N"o. 328). 



Folia ad 2 poll, longa et lata ; petiolus 8-10 lin. longus. Racemi 

 et pedicelli \ poll, longi. Sepala 2^-3 lia. longa. Corolla 8-9 lin, 

 longa, 7 lin. lata. Disci cupularis lobi 3^-4 lin. longi. 



Distinct from G. Sutherlandi, Hk. et Harv., of which an excellent 

 figure, from a cultivated specimen, is given in the ' Botanical Magazine ' 

 (tab. 6040), as also from G. Badlkoferi, Szyszylowicz (in ^Polypetate 

 Rehmanniana?,' p. 49) in the disk, the lobes of which in G, Flanagam 

 are subulate acute and more or less toothed but destitute of the glan- 

 dular disk which terminates the lobes in the two former species. The 

 flowers also are larger and in solitary few (3-5)-flowered racemes. The 

 leaves of G. Eadlkoferi, which may well be a variety of G. SutJierlandi, 

 are almost precisely similar in form and indumentum to those of our 

 plant. We are indebted for excellent specimens to the collector, who 

 has detected many novelties in the rich region explored by him.
