Has. Cape and Stellenbosch districts, 
also in Clanwilliam, at Olifant’s river, and 
Brackfontein, Ecklon. (v. s. 
Nearly a foot high, branched at the base, 
glabrous, or with a few glandular hairs on 
the upper part of the stem, the peduncles, 
and calyx. Corolla variable in size, but 
readily known by the large broad lower lip 
retaining a dark colour in the dry state. 
Lower lip bearded. Capsule ovate, nar- 
rowed at the top with two short diverging ~ 
horns. 
5. N. cheiranthus (E. Mey. MSS.), 
erecta, glabra, foliis infimis ovatis petiola- 
tis, superioribus paucis remotis sessilibus 
oblongis lanceolatis linearibusve, omnibus 
paucidentatis integerrimisve, corolle laci- 
niis supremis lanceolatis acutis labio infe-

brevi conico. 
Han. Clanwilliam district: between 
Heerenlogiment and Knakasberg, Drége ;

(v. 5.) 
A foot high, not much branched. Calyx 
and peduncles sometimes bearing a few 
short hairs. Two upper divisions of the 
corolla six lines long, lateral ones four lines, 
spur two lines long, lower lip broad and 
emarginate. I have not seen the capsule. 
6. N. anisocarpa (E. Mey. MSS.), 
erecta, subglabra, foliis infimis petiolatis 
ovatis, superioribus paucis remotis sessili- 
bus oblongis lanceolatis linearibusve inte- 
gerrimis dentatisque, corolle laciniis su- 
premis oblongis obtusis labio inferiore 
longioribus, palato tenuiter pu 
calcare brevi recto lineari-conico.

(v. 5.) 
Habit, leaves, and calyx of N. cheiran- 
thus, from which it chiefly differs by the 
upper divisions of the corolla much broader 
and obtuse. In the Zilverfontein speci- 
mens they appear still shorter than in the 
Micrenkasteel ones. In the latter the cap- 
sule is four lines long, two and a half broad, 
the valves contracted at the top, and une-
