Gymnodiscus capillaris Less. Sandy flats and low hills, very 

 common ; 6-9. 



Othonna digitata Linn. f. Sandy flats, frequent ; 7-9. 



2. 0. (Doria perfoliata Thunb.). Sandy places among rocks or 

 bushes, rather rare ; 8-9. Kasteel Poort ; Hout Bay ; Klein 

 Slangkop ; occasional from Dido Valley to Paulsberg. 



3. 0. Lingua Linn. f. Sandy flats, common ; 6-8. We are not 

 sure that both this and the last species are found on the Peninsula, 

 if they are really distinct, which seems doubtful. We have applied 

 the former name to slender, rampant, large-leaved plants, the latter 

 to small, erect ones, but there is no difference in the pappus nor in 

 the pubescence of the achenes. 



4. 0. coronopifolia Linn. Dry ground on flats or low slopes, 

 usually near the sea, locally frequent ; 10-1. From Eetreat, south- 

 ward ; '* Salt River," Harvey. 



5. 0. ciliata Linn. f. Hill slopes, locally frequent ; 7-10. Signal 

 Hill to Kamp's Bay. 



6. 0. parviflora Linn. From flats to summit of Table Moun- 

 tain, rather common ; 1-7. 



7. 0. amplexicaulis Thunb. Mountain slopes, rare ; 5. "Orange 

 Kloof," Schlechter, 730. Not found by us. Wright's 296 from 

 Simon's Town is 0. dentata. 



8. 0. dentata Linn. Mountain rocks, occasional ; 6-11. Lower 

 Plateau ; from Vlaggeberg to Kalk Bay ; Slangkop ; Miller's Point. 



9. 0. arborescens Linn. Mountain rocks, frequent ; 6-9. Never 

 seen below 500 feet. Drege's plant from " Cape Flats " must have 

 been a casual. 



10. 0. linifolia Linn. f. In damp places on flats or low hills, 

 frequent ; 6- 8. 



11. 0. tuberosa Thunb. Sandy flats, frequent ; 5-10.

 5-8. Uitvlugt ; Eondebosch ; Kenilworth ; Orange Kloof ; reaches 

 1,000 feet on Devil's Peak. 



13. 0. pinnata Linn, f.' Gravelly hills, locally frequent ; 5-9. 

 Lion's Back; beyond Kamp's Bay ; Orange Kloof ; behind Mowbray. 



Dimorphotheca pluvialis Moench. Flats and low hills, very 

 common ; 8-9. 



2. D. nudicaulis DC. Hill and mountain slopes, rarely on flats, 

 frequent ; 7-9. Reaches 2,600 feet on Lower Plateau, where we 

 have seen it in flower in February. 



3. D. fruticosa Less. Rocky and bushy places by the shore, 

 local; 9-11. Kalk Bay to Miller's Point; Hout Bay; ''Kamp's 

 Bay," Harvey. 



Tripteris rigida Harv. " Roadside between Wynberg and 

 Constantia," WallicJi. Not found by us.
