At first sight much like M. yi i C. B. Clarke, but ae 
has a 4-lobed not 5-lobed calyx with strongly ciliate lobes, and so 
is assigned to another part of the genus. Its nearest affinity 
seem be with MW. arenicola C. B. Clarke, which = different 
clothing, longer lanceolate acute leaves, linear bracteoles, &c. 
e genus, which is tolerably abundant in wen mn Germ 
South-west Africa and in the western parts of Cape Colony, is but 
poorly represented on the other side of the continent.
