Floivering Plants and Ferns of the Cape Peninsula. 237 



11. M. alopecuroides DC. Mountain slopes, rare ; 12. Con- 

 stantiaberg. 



12. M. phylicoides Thunb. Sandy flats and plateaux, very 

 common ; 7-12. Beaches 1,200 feet on Constantiaberg. M. Dodii 

 Schltr., which was founded on a supposed absence of horns to 

 the capsule, must be reduced to this species ; we have found horns 

 on the type specimen {Wolley-Dod, No. 941), they appear to be 

 deciduous after the fruit has ripened. 



13. M. ciliaris DC. Sandy flats, rare; 1. Near Kenilworth, 

 Scldechter ! 



14. M. diffusa Burch. Flats to mountains, common ; 7-1. M]\ 

 N. E. Brown considers that M. stipulacea Burch (non " DO." Harvey, 

 Fl. Cap. I. 103) and M. tenuifolia DC. var. major Harv. are 

 synonyms of this species. 



15. M. dumosa DC. '* Lion's Mountain," Eckl. and Zeyh. Not 

 found by us. 



16. M. thymifolia Thunb. Flats and hill slopes, locally com- 

 mon ; 6-11. From Signal Hill to Kamp's Bay; Eetreat ; Muizen- 

 berg ; Steenberg ; Simon's Town. 



17. M. pauciflora DC. Eare ; 6. Orange Kloof, at 1,200 feet. 



ScJilechter ! 



18. M. striata DC. Flats, rare ; 5-8. Doornhoogde ; near 

 Eetreat ; near Meyerhof .

 sionally with white flowers. 



FRANKENIACE^.

 sional ; 10-11. Eapenburg Vley ; Kalk Bay ; Fort Knokke; Chap- 

 man's Bay. 



2. F. pulverulenta Linn. Similar situations, but more local ; 

 11. Green Point Common. 



CARYOPHYLLACEiE. 



Dianthus incurvus Thunb. Flats and mountain slopes, fre- 

 quent ; 10-2. Eeaches 1,500 feet. 



? Silene capensis Otth. Though reported from the Peninsula, 

 we think this wants confirmation. It is more distinct from undulata 

 than the description shows. Its leaves are much narrower, the 

 radical ones in a rosette, stems very erect, and inflorescence much 

 more regularly cymose than that species. We have not found it. 



1. S. undulata Ait. Shady rocky ground from sea-level to 1,500 

 feet, frequent ; 9-10. 



2. S. ornata Ait. '' Sandy places near Doornhoogde," TJiuiih. 

 Not seen by us.
