The following numbers comprise material insufl^icient for specific 

 determination : —

 lanceolate, appearing later. Plentiful in dry thickets near Huilla. 

 In fl. Oct., in fr. Nov. 1859. Cor.L. Carp. 72. The specimen consists 

 only of a single capsule and seeds, and is apparently closely allied to 

 G. Welwituchli Baker, from which however Welwitsch separated it as 

 a new and distinct species. 



Huilla. — Flowers scarlet ; leaves appearing later. Plentiful in 

 sandy pastures near LopoUo. In fl. Oct. to Feb. Jan. 1860. Coll. 

 Carp. 1002.

 places near Mumpulla. Oct. 1859. No. 1542.

Owing to lack of sufhcient material the position of the following 

 number is very doubtful : —

 No. 1554. A perennial herb with the habit almost of Iri^, leaves 

 leathery, distichously sheathing. Flowers not seen. Serra da Xella
