Flowering Plants and Ferns of the Ca^je Peninsula. 255 



Crotalaria humilis E. and Z. Grassy flat and low hills, 

 rather common ; 8-10. 



2. tC. capensis Jacq. Thickets and plantations, rather frequent ; 

 8-10. Introduced as an ornamental plant from the Eastern district, 

 but now naturalised. 



Argyrolobium velutinum E. and Z. Sandy flats and hill 

 slopes, rather rare ; 9-12. Eapenburg; "Table Mountain," Mund ; 

 "■ Simon's Town," E. and Z. 



2. A. filiforme E. and Z ? '* Hills round Cape Town," Pai^pe ; 

 *' Doornhoogde," Eckl. and Zeyli. Not found by us, unless, as seems 

 probable, it be identical with the next species. 



3. A. stenorrhizon Oliv. Sandy flats, rather rare; 10-11. 

 Klaver Vley ; near Fish Hoek ; near Eondebosch ; and Doorn- 

 hoogde. It is more frequent just beyond our limits at Vygeskraal 

 Farm. 



4. A. lanceolatum E. and Z. Flats and hill slopes, rather 

 common; 9-12. Seen in Waai Vley (Wolley-Dod, 2245) and near 

 the summit of Table Mountain, but very rarely so high. 



i Cytisus candicans Lam. Eoadsides, local ; 11-12. Near 

 Fern wood. 



tMedicago sativa Linn. " Near Cape Town and Simon's 

 Bay," Eckl. and Zeijh. Only seen by us in cultivation, but 

 doubtless sometimes escaping. 



2. fM. denticulata Willd. A weed of cultivation and grassy 

 places, very common ; 8-10. The very long-spined forms are 

 probably M. lappacea DC, Kalk Bay; and the very short-spined, 

 M. apiculata Willd., Signal Hill. A spineless-fruited plant from 

 Eapenburg Vley and Green Point Common, probably belongs to the 

 latter.

 preceding.
