Flotoering Plants and Ferns of tlie Gape Peninsula. 259 



2. R. pinnatus Willd. Hill slopes, common ; 8-10. Eeaches 

 almost to summit of Constantiaberg, but rarely exceeds 1,200 feet. 



3. R. rigidus Sm. Hill slopes, rare. Kloof west of Lion's 

 Head, October. Not seen in flower. 



4. R. fruticosus Linn (sp. agg.). Hill slopes, common ; 9-12. 

 Much more constant than in Europe. A plant as common as the 

 type, but with septenate-pinnate leaves and constantly abortive fruit, 

 may be a hybrid with R. pinnatus, but it bears little resemblance 

 to that species. 



Alchemilla capensis Thunb. Damp or shady slopes up to 

 1,000 feet, rather frequent ; 8-10. 



f Poterium Sanguisorba Linn. A roadside casual ; 9-10. 

 Beyond Sea Point; "about Simon's Bay," Wright. 



Cliffortia ilicifolia Linn. Hill slopes, very rare. Near swamp. 

 Orange Kloof, not seen in flower. 



2. C. intermedia E. and Z. We do not understand this 

 species, but plants which have glabrous tridentate leaves occur 

 near Maclear's Beacon (? C. tabularis) ; behind Wynberg ranges 

 and Lower Plateau above ; about Constantiaberg, farm, and Nek ; 

 summit of Twelve Apostles ; near Miller's Point. 



3. C. ruscifolia Linn. From flats to highest summits, very 

 common ; 6-12. A most variable plant in pubescence, length, 

 width, and dentition of leaves. Var. tridentata Harv. occurs in 

 the Disa Gorge. A plant from above Klassenbosch with glabrous 

 leaves 6-8 lines long and ^ line wide may belong to this species. 



4. C. tabularis Diels MS. Near Maclear's Beacon, Bolus, 

 7994. 



5. C. graminea Linn. f. Wet places, flats to mountain slopes 

 occasional; 12-3. Eetreat Vley ; Smitswinkel Vley; near top of 

 Vlaggeberg ; Orange Kloof swamp.

 forms dense matted masses and reaches nearly to summit of Table 

 Mountain.

 Bay," Schlechter, 670! 



11. C. polygonifolia Linn. Flats and hill slopes to 1,500 feet, 

 common ; 7-10. Var. ternata and var. trifoliata about equally 

 common. 



12. C. OCtandra Oh. and Sch. Flats and hill slopes, rare, but 

 perhaps mistaken for the last species ; 4-5. Near Kirstenbosch : 

 Constantia ; " near Salt Eiver," Eckl. and Zeyh.
