Floivering Plants and Ferns of the Cape Peninsula. 239 



fMalva parviflora Linn. Cultivation and waste places, very 

 common ; 8-11. 



2. tM. Yerticillata Linn. With the last, but much less com- 

 mon ? ; 9. 



MalYastrum capense Gray and Harv. Hill and mountain 

 slopes to 1,800 feet, frequent ; 7-9. 



? M. calycinum Gray and Harv. This has been confounded 

 v^ith M. capense. We have not been able to find an authentic 

 record for the Peninsula, but admit it v^ith doubt, since it is said to 

 occur. 



2. M. albens Harv. Flats, rare ; 10. Beyond Eondebosch. 



Hibiscus diversifolius Jacq. Very rare, only one locality 

 known ; 5. By Orange Kloof swamp.

 occasionally throughout the year.

 12-3. The leaves vary greatly.

 Island and its vicinity. 



4. H. cuneifolia Jacq. Low hill slopes, common ; 8-10. A 

 very variable plant, which sometimes runs very near, if it does not,

 kraal Eiver between Uitvlugt and Camp Ground. 



8. H. flammea Jacq.? ''Simon's Town," Wright. " Muizen-
