3. M. lasiocarpaDC. Mountain slopes, rare; 5. "Above Orange 

 Kloof, 2,000 feet," Schlechter, 732. 



Aster fruticosus Linn. Low hill slopes, common ; 9-11. 



Felicia tenella Nees. From flats to mountain tops, very- 

 common ; 10-2. Reaches Lower Plateau. A most variable 

 plant. 



2. F. reflexaDC. Mountain slopes and sides of kloofs, common; 

 7-8. Reaches summit of Twelve Apostles. 



3. F. maritima Bolus. Sandy flats, rare ; 1. Near Maitland, 

 Bolus, 6265. 



4. F. (Aster Bergerianus Harv.). Flats and hill slopes, local ; 

 9-10. Signal Hill; Green Point Common?; "Lion's Mountain," 

 EcMon. 



5. F. adfinis Nees. " Lion's Mountain," Ecklon. Not found 

 by us. 



6. F. (A. Pappei Harv.). Sandy flats, apparently frequent ; 9-12. 

 Hout, Chapman's, and BuC'el's Bays; Camp Ground, &c. Very 

 different-looking from the form of Charieis heterophylla with blue 

 disc florets (the only form we have seen of that species), but very 

 like and has been confounded with A. elongatus Thunb. var. 

 spathulifolius Harv. The latter species has, however, a biseriate 

 involucre and a ligneous stem, though plants flowering the first year 

 might be mistaken for the present species. 



7. F. (A. Cymbalarise Thunb.). Shady rocks, rather rare ; 12-3. 

 Waterfall, Devil's Peak ; rocks over Tokay ; Table Mountain, 3,000 

 feet; "above Simon's Bay," Milne. 



8. F. (A. Gandollei Harv.). Damp kloofs, rare ; 11-12. Orange 

 Kloof River ; waterfall. Devil's Peak, very rare or extinct in the latter 

 station. 



? F. (A. elongatus Thunb.). " Devil's Peak," Scliinz. Not 

 found by us. (See remarks under A. Pappei.) Failing better 

 evidence, we question its existence on the Peninsula. 



9. F. (A. capensis Less.). Hill slopes, rare ; 10. West slopes 

 of Slangkop ; " Table Mountain," Tliunb. 



10. F. (A. aethiopicus Burm.). Bushy places, frequent ; flowers 

 the whole year and reaches 3,000 feet. 



iErigeron canadense Linn. Frequent about gardens and 

 orchards ; 8-11. Also on Lower Plateau. 



Nidorella foliosa Cass. Sandy places, rare ; 10-3. By the 

 Kommetje, Chapman's Bay; near Muizenberg ; "dry hills round 

 Cape Town and Kamp's Bay," Wallich. 



iConyza ambigua DC. Waste places and railway banks, 

 common ; 7-12. Often misnamed Erigeron canadense, but quite 

 diflerent from that species in its purplish tubular ray florets, and in 

 being twice the size in all its parts, and with dark, not pale yellowish- 

 green foliage.
