 Eange, near the Pass, Bev. Dr. Kolbe, 1477 ! (in my herb.). 



A very distinct species, which falls into DCs section Phaenoglossa, 

 but most resembles in general appearance ^. callunoides DC, differing 

 by its leaves which are entirely and closely appressed, and not gem- 

 miferous, by its shorter heads, and fewer ray-flowers with exserted 

 ligules. 



Iphiona dentata Bolus. — This name must replace that of 

 Pegolettia dentata, published by me, in vol. xvi., p. 385 of these 

 Transactions. The error was corrected on p. 6, at the foot of the 

 Table of Contents in the same vol., but as that did not appear until 

 some months later, while off-prints had meanwhile been distributed, 

 it is necessarily repeated here. The description remains unchanged, 

 but the following correction is substituted. For the words " In 

 floral structure nearest to," &c., read " Nearest to I. haccharidifolia 

 Benth. & Hook. /., distinct by its much narrower and more deeply- 

 toothed leaves, much more numerous, narrower, and acuminate 

 involucral scales, and by its silky achenes."

Of the species of Pegolettia known to me this seems nearest to 

 P. senegalensis Cass., and P. riiucrojiata Benth., of the latter of which
