59. M. pallens Ait. Dry ground, banks and walls, rather locally 

 common ; 11-12. From Fort Knokke to Sea Point. A coarse 

 straggling dull glaucous plant, the papulae on the leaves very incon- 

 spicuous. Pappe's specimen labelled M. geniculiflorum Linn, from 

 Papendorp (Woodstock) in Herb. Kew, is this species, and as we 

 know of no other evidence for the occurrence of M. geniculiflorum 

 on the Peninsula, we have omitted it. 



60. M. Tripolium Linn. Damp bushy places, local and rare ; 

 10-11. Several places in the Orange Kloof. 



61. M. pomeridianum Linn. Dry sandy places, common; 9-12. 

 Abundant in Chapman's Bay. 



62. M. glabrum Ait. ? A plant from the Kommetje, Chapman's 

 Bay (Wolley-Dod, 1755 and 3142) may be this species. It closely 

 resembles very large specimens of Hymenogyne glabra, but has 

 10 styles, which are more or less connate below, not united into 

 a tube throughout. We much doubt the synonymy of the two 

 species; moreover, "stigmas united into a tube at tlie base'' is a 

 description which could not by any possibility be applied to 

 Hymenogyne glabra. The same plant is common beyond our 

 limits, near the shore towards Eiet Vley. It may possibly be 

 M. pomeridianum Linn., var. glabrum Haw., but differs consider- 

 ably from the true species. 



Hymenogyne glabra Haw. Dry sandy ground, rare ; 9-10. 

 " Eapenburg," Guthrie; roadside beyond Simon's Town, Bolus, 

 7092, Wolley-Dod, 2851.

 Eetreat Station, Bolus, 7206.

 frequent ; 6.

 tween Eetreat and Muizenberg, Bolus, 7207. 



4. T. decumbens Mill. Waste and sandy ground, rather rare ; 

 10-12. Paarden Island ; Eailway about Muizenberg ; Castle ditch 

 and grounds. ' 



5. T. spicata Linn. f. /' Eondebosch," Eckl. and Zeyli. Not
