Flowering Plants and Ferns of the CajJe Peninsula. 315 



Brabejum stellatifolium Linn. Woods and thickets ; 1 Groot 

 Schuur to Wynberg at 200 feet to 500 feet, seldom flowering. 



THYMEL^ACE^. 



Arthrosolen laxus C. A. Meyer. Eoadsides and hill slopes, 

 frequent ; 1-12. 



2. A. spicatus C. A. Meyer. Flats near vieys, more local than 

 last, but frequent ; 1-12. 



Passerina filiformis Linn. Flats and hill slopes to at least 

 1,000 feet, very common ; 9-12. 



Chymococca empetroides Meisn. Sandy downs by the sea, 

 locally frequent ; 9. Kalk Bay ; Muizenberg. 



Cryptadenia breviflora Meisn. " Table Mountain," Meisner, 

 Not found by us unless confounded with one of the two following. 



2. C. grandiflora Meisn. Flats, frequent ; 12-5. 



3. C. uniflora Meisn. Flats, common ; 9-12. 

 Lachnaea capitata Meisn. Flats, common ; 9-5. 



2. L. densiflora Meisn. Flats, frequent, and rather local; 8-11. 

 Abundant near Claremont Sanatorium. 



? L. macrantha Meisn. Authority mislaid, so we mark it with 

 doubt. We never gathered it. 



3. L. funicaulis Schinz. "In a valley, in sandy soil, at 

 3,000 feet, January," Sclilecliter, 401. Precise locality not stated. 

 Not found by us. 



Struthiola longiflora Lam. Flats and hillsides, probably very 

 common. The species of this genus are so very much alike that we 

 are unable to state positively as to their relative frequency. One 

 or two certainly are very common, and they appear to flower all 

 the year round. 



2. S. lucens Poir. Apparently less common than last or next. 



3. S. erecta Linn. Flats and hillsides, apparently very common. 



? S. virgata Linn. This has been recorded, but we mark it 

 with doubt, as we believe one of the first two species has been 

 mistaken for it. 



4. S. striata Lam, Sandy flats, locally frequent; 10-1. Mait- 

 land ; Eapenburg Vley ; Tokay ; Miller's Point. A distinct species. 



Gnidia anomala Meisn. Dry mountain slopes, locally frequent ; 

 6-10.- Simon's Town to Cape Point; more rare on Table Mountain.

 southwards ; 1-12. Also in Orange Kloof.
