on the damp and shady rocks near both waterfalls in Jonker- 

 shoek valley. While in its foliage and flowers the plant agrees 

 with the general characters of the order to which it has been 

 assigned, it possesses the bilocular ovary of Scrophulariacece. 

 It is surprising that a plant with such conspicuous flowers 

 and leaves should have remained undescribed until now, although 

 its locality is only thirty miles from Capetown. 



Note. — In a preliminary communication regarding this plant 

 (see vol. ix. of these Trans., p. xxvii.) another name was pro- 

 visionally assigned to it, but on further consideration the above 

 appeared preferable.

 reached the number 1,900, contains among the last sets several 

 important species hitherto to be found only in a few European 

 collections, e.g., Wehuitschia. The material for the completion 

 of the second thousand is already partly collected.
