Floioering Plants and Ferns of the Cajje Peninsula. 283 



Cotula myriophylloides Harv. In water, very local ; 10-11. 

 Effluent from the Kommetje ; Muizenberg Vley ; Green Point 

 Common. 



2. C. coronopifolia Linn. By sluits and muddy places, common ; 

 7-11. Seen on Lower Plateau, but rarely so high. 



3. C. pusilla Thunb. Damp spots on the flats, frequent ; 7-10. 



4. C. filifolia Thunb. Similar places to the last, and often 

 mixed with it, common ; 7-10. The strong form, which grows in 

 water, var. decumbens Harv., is not always associated with broader 

 leaves nor more bearded sheaths, and it looks perennial. 



5. C. bracteolata E. Mey. " Paarden Island," Burchell, Drege. 

 Not found by us. 



6. C. (Cenia) turbinata Linn. Flats to mountain slopes, very 

 common ; 7-12. The two colour forms do not seem to amalgamate. 

 The one with white rays, purplish beneath, and a dull greyish-yellow 

 disc, rarely or never ascends above a few hundred feet. That with 

 both disc and ray bright golden-yellow (not discoloured beneath) is 

 found chiefly on the slopes, as far as the Lower Plateau. Except in 

 colour, we see no difference between them. 



Hippia gracilis Less. Mountain slopes, under shrublets, com- 

 mon ; 8-10. Beaches nearly to the summit of Table Mountain. 



Alciope tabularis DC. Hill and mountain slopes in rather 

 damp places, frequent ; 1-4. This is one of those species which 

 flower most abundantly after a fire, independent of the season. 



Cineraria geifolia Linn. Flats to mountain slopes, common ; 

 9-10. Very variable in leaf-cutting and pubescence. Reaches 2,500 

 feet. 



tSenecio vulgaris Linn. An occasional weed of cultivation ; 

 7-12.

5. S. repandus Thunb. Shady spots under rocks, at moderate 

 elevations, rare ; 9-10. Lion's Head ; slopes near Smitswinkel Bay 

 (with glabrous involucral scales). The latter is probably Wright's 

 " Simon's Town " station, Fl. Cap. HI. 356. 



"6. S. laevigatus Thunb. Mountain slopes, occasional ; 10-L 

 Devil's Peak ; Muizenberg ; Red Hill ; " Simon's Bay," Wright.
