, ery nearly allied to Zygophyllum album, L., which is variable in its 

 indumentum and, to some extent, in the fruit, but with the lobes of 

 tne capsule acute or distinctly keeled. After comparison with a con- 

 siderable series of this species in this Herbarium, there seems no 

 M t'^^^^'*' but to regard the Hadramaut plant as distinct. The flowers 

 ir. Luut describes as cream-coloured.— D. Oliver.
