Has. Cape district? Paterson, &e.; 
False Bay, Thunberg? Karroo desert, 
Ecklon. (v. s.) 
I have seen several specimens, but none 
of them very satisfactory, and I have doubts 
as to their being the same as Thunberg's 
plant. They all differ, however, from the 
three preceding species by the short thick 
capsules, and the flowers, and especially 
the capsules, more distant from each other.

bus pediceliatis racemosis.
