Hab. : Cape Colony ; district Montagu, near the warm baths, on 

 dry rocky hills, alt. 300 meters, Dec. (1892), Bolus, 7882 (in herb. 

 Kew and my own). 



In floral structure nearest to P. oxyodonta DC, but differing in 

 pappus and very much in habit and general appearance, being 

 smaller in all parts, greener, and nearly glabrous. It appears to 

 be rare. 



Chrysanthellum procumbens, Pers. (Helianthoideae-Coreopsideae). 



This widely-spread tropical species, probably a native of the East 

 Indies, has long since been found in various parts of Tropical Africa, 

 from Abyssinia southward. It occurs near Bulawayo, specimens 

 having been sent by Eev. A. Barthelemy from that town. Finally, 

 it was collected by me at Warm Bath in the Transvaal Colony in 

 January last (Bolus, 12090), and this seems to be the only extra- 

 tropical station yet recorded for it. 



PHiEOCEPHALUS gnidioides, S. Moore in Journ. Bot. (1900), p. 158, 

 t. 409 (Compositae-Anthemideae). 



This species was first found by F. Masson, who travelled in the 

 Cape Colony in 1775, and the single specimen he sent to England 

 lay perdu in the herbarium of the British Museum until it was 

 examined, and the genus established, by Mr. Moore as above. This 

 gentleman was good enough to draw my attention to it when in 

 England two years ago, in the hope that I might be able to find it 

 again, no other specimen being known. As no station had been 

 recorded by Masson, it was therefore a singular coincidence that a 

 few months after my return to the Colony I found the plant when
