Of this plant we have a specimen, communicated by the Polytechnic 
Maseum of Lisbon, collected by the late Dr. Welwitsch, who had 
given it in manuscript the name Adenogonum decumbens. It corresponds 
So nearly with the figure cited above, and with a small specimen, 
kindly communicated to the Kew Herbarium by Dr. Engler, coll 
by Marloth in Herero Land, that I feel bound to refer it to the a 
Species, notwithstanding the presence of conspicuous ray-florets. 
the colour of the florets I have no note, but should judge them to ne 
homochromous.—D. OLtver.
