Arctotheca repens Wendl. Flats and hill slopes, rather rare ; 

 6-12. Devil's Peak ; near Eapenburg Vley ; lower part of Orange 

 Kloof ; Sea Point; " Platteklip," MacGillivray ; " Green Point, near 

 Lighthouse," Pappe. 



Cryptostemma calendulaceum E. Br. Eoadsides and waste 

 places, very common and very variable ; 8-11. Seen on Lower 

 Plateau, but imported with material for reservoir. 



2. C. Forbesianum Harv. Flats, rare ; 7-8. Eapenburg ; 

 beyond Uitvlugt. The primary leaf - lobes are often irregularly 

 incised. 



3. C. niYeum Nicholls. Sandy sea - shores, rare ; 8-9. Fish 

 Hoek station. 



Arctotis acaulis Linn. Flats and hill slopes, common ; 7-9. 



2. A. leptorhiza DC. ? Sandy flats, locally frequent ; 9-12. 

 About Diep Eiver, Eetreat and Muizenberg. What we take for this 

 species has pale orange ray florets, scarcely darker on backs, leaves 

 scarcely paler beneath, thin, and somewhat sinuate-pinnatifid, and 

 the whole plant viscous, with fibrous roots. But a plant to which 

 this name is often given is frequently found on hill slopes, and might 

 be taken for a small first year flowering state of A. acaulis, of which 

 it has the deep yellow or orange ray florets, much darker on back, 

 thick lyrate pinnatifid leaves, thickly white felted beneath, and the 

 plant not clammy, with a hard wiry root. It is probably a distinct 

 species. 



3. A. angustifolia Linn. Flats and low hill slopes, frequent ; 

 1-3. 



4. A. glandulosa Thunb. Sandy flats, rare; 11. "Eapenburg," 

 Guthrie, 232. 



5. A. aspera Linn. Slopes and kloofs, from sea-level to 2,800 

 feet, frequent ; 8-1. 



6. A. stcechadifolia Berg. Sandy slopes near sea, rare ; 9-10. 

 Slangkop ; hills west of Simon's Town ; Chapman's Bay ; Buffel's 

 Bay. 



Yenidium hirsutum Harv. Sandy flats, rare ; 9-12. Paarden 

 Island ; Three Anchor Bay. 



Gorteria calendulacea DC. " Lion's Mountain," Drege. Not 

 found by us. 



2. G. personata L. Flats and hill slopes, frequent ; 8-10. 



Gazania pinnata Less. Gravelly flats and lower slopes, fre- 

 quent ; 9-10. Very variable. A more decumbent, dwarfer plant, 

 with very scabrous leaves, often bipinnate, which we have seen 

 near Hout Bay Nek and Chapman's Bay, may be a distinct species. 



2. G. Pavonia E. Br. " Near Cape Town," Thimberg ; " Green 

 Point," Wilms. Not found by us. 



Cullumia decumbens Less. " Muizenberg," Eckl. and Zeyh.
