 This I consider specifically distinct and not a variety of 

 S. radiata Dahl. Like S. glutinosa Dahl the flowers are congested 

 in an agglutinated mass, but the ascending, not radiately spreading 

 involucral bracts, though exceeding the flowers in length, are 

 comparatively short and invariably leafy. It is a rare plant on 

 the Cape Peninsula, usually confined to the crannies of rocks on 

 the tops of mountains, and in consequence stunted, branching 

 profusely from near the base, entirely glabrous, the leaves 

 crowded, patently spreading, subtrigonous with a broad dorsal 

 midrib.

A very distinct and handsome species, with the aspect of a 

 shrubby Chrysanthemum. It appears to be endemic to the Cape 

 Peninsula, and even within this area its distribution is remarkably 

 circumscribed and local, for in recent years it has only been 

 gathered on a rocky ridge near Smit's-Winkel Bay, towards Cape 

 Point. The specimens by Admiral Sir F. Grey and MacGillivray 

 in the Kew Herbarium doubtless hail from the same region, for 

 both made extensive collections about Simonstown, a locality not 

 remote from the plant's present area of distribution.
