Floivering Plants and Ferns of the Cape Peninsula. 243^ 



23. P. tabulare L'Herit. Similar situations, frequent ; 7-11. 

 Beaches 1,500 feet. We think Harvey's statement that it is " very 

 Uke P. alchemilloides " is misleading. 



24. P. heterogamum L'Herit. Mountain slopes, locally fre- 

 quent ; 12-3. Near the Saddle, Devil's Peak, also north slopes ; 

 by the tunnel, Orange Kloof. 



25. P. zonale Willd. ** Simon's Bay," Wright. We have not 

 gathered this. 



26. P. betulinum Ait. Sandy or gravelly bushy ground, com- 

 mon ; 9-10. Varies much in colour of Howers. 



27. P. GUGuUatum Ait, Hill and mountain slopes, very com- 

 mon ; 10-2. 



28. P. angulosum Ait. Similar situations but less common : 

 9-2. 



29. P. capitatum Ait. Flats and hill slopes, very common ; 

 1-12. 



30. P. Yitifolium Ait. With difficulty distinguished from last, 

 but perhaps frequent; 10-12. Wynberg Hill?; by waterfall. Devil's 

 Peak ; near Claremont station. 



Oxalis monophylla Linn. Flats and low hill slopes, rather 

 rare ; 4-5. About Roodebloem ; Camp Ground ; Lion's Head. 



2. 0. glabra Thunb. Flats and low hills, partial to damp, very 

 common ; 4-8. A very variable plant, the usual form being 

 var. minor Sond. or possibly var. acuminata Sond ; var. pusilla 

 is common on the Camp Ground and Sea Point Common. 



3. 0. versicolor Linn. Flats and hills, about the commonest 

 species ; 5-8. The peduncles are often glandular, and not always 

 terminal. 



4. 0. polyphylla Jacq. Hill and mountain slopes, frequent ; 

 3-6. We think 0. pentaphylla Sims should be combined with this 

 species as a five-leaved variety. There appears to be no other 

 difference, except that 0. pentaphylla usually flowers rather earlier 

 and at higher altitudes. 



5. 0. falcata Sond. Sandy or gravelly flats and hills, frequent ; 

 5-7. Liable to be mistaken for versicolor, the corolla being usually 

 white with a pink edge, but seldom so deep red as in versicolor^ 

 Its inflorescence is sometimes axillary. 



6. 0. tenuifolia Jacq. Sandy flats, partial to damp, occasional ; 

 6-7. About Roodebloem, Newlands, and Observatory; Kenilworth 

 racecourse. 



7. 0. minuta Thunb. Grassy flats, rare ; 6-7. Camp Ground 

 to Kenilworth racecourse. 



8. 0. multicaulis E. and Z. Hill slopes, locally abundant ; 5-6. 

 East slopes of Devil's Peak. 



9. 0. purpurea Thunb. Flats and slopes to 1,000 feet, very 

 common ; 4-b.
