Near A. zombensis Baker, which has similar foliage, but involucres 

 of longer and relatively narrower leaves, different ligules, &c.

New to Rhodesia, the type having been raised from seeds sent 

 from Johannesburg. There is in the British Museum a specimen 

 from Bulawayo of what is evidently this species (Rand, 149), but in 

 so early a state that no attempt was made to determine it. An 

 intermediate home for the plant is Pietersburg, Transvaal, where 

 it occurs in grassy plains, according to the ticket accompanying a 

 specimen kindly communicated to the Museum recently by Dr. 

 Bolus (herb. no. 11096).
