Floiucving Plants and Ferns of the Cape Peninsula. 331 



Aristea racemosa Baker. Flats, rare; 11. Kenilworth.

 Near Wynberg reservoir. Bolus, 7056 ; Maclear's Beacon ; Lower 

 Plateau and Orange Kloof, Wolley-Dod, 2157, 2161, 3507.

 Stream south of Constantiaberg ; top of Farmer Peck's Valley. 



4. A. dichotoma Ker. Flats and lower slopes, frequent ; 12-2. 



5. A. cyanea Soland. Sandy flats, frequent, more rarely on hill 

 slopes ; 8-9. We have also seen it in flower in February. 



6. A. capitata Ker. Mountains, frequent, less so on lower 

 slopes ; 11-1. This has been gathered in flower in July. 



7. A. spiralis Ker. Damp spots on hills and mountains, fre- 

 quent ; 9-12. 



Witsenia maura Thunb. Among Osmitopsis, &c., on low 

 ground, rare ; 4-6. Patrys Vley ; Silvermine Valley below water- 

 fall ; Smitswinkel Vley. 



Hesperantha cinnamomea Ker. Flats and hill slopes, occa- 

 sional ; 8-9. Lion's Back ; above Mowbray ; Kenilworth and 

 Claremont Flats. 



2. H. falcata Ker. Among shrublets on flats and hills, frequent ; 

 7-10. 



3. H. graminifoliaD. Don. ? Sandy flats, rare ; 9. Eondebosch 

 Camp Ground near bridge, Wolley-Dod, 524. 



4. H. pilosa Ker. Flats to mountain slopes, frequent ; 8-9. 



5. H. radiata Ker. Flats to high mountains, frequent, though 

 rather local ; 9-12. Especially common on Signal Hill. Beaches 

 nearly to summit of Table Mountain. 



Geissorhiza humilis Ker. Sandy places from flats to mountains, 

 frequent ; 8-9. Var. grandiflora Baker is especially frequent in 

 Fish Hoek Valley. A plant differing somewhat in habit, with 

 pubescent leaves, longer perianth tube, and white, very brittle corm 

 tunics, from the marsh near source of Slangkop Eiver, Wolley-Dod, 

 3190, is placed here provisionally. A plant with similarly pubes 

 cent leaves, but otherwise typical, occurs between Groot and Klein 

 Slangkop, Wolley-Dod, 3189. 



2. G. Wrightii Baker. Mountain slopes, rare ; 12. Eocks over 

 Waai Vley, Wolley-Dod, 2146. Nearest this species, but spathe 

 valves membranous at the tips, and bearing some resemblance to 

 G. setifolia Eckl. 



3. G. secunda Ker. Hill slopes and sandy flats, very common ; 

 8-12. As we understand this species, its corm tunics are just as 

 in G. imbricata, its stem is densely finely pubescent, leaves 

 narrowed into a pseudo-petiole, not with ventricose sheaths, and 

 deep purplish blue flowers. Mr. Baker's description in Flor. Cap. vi. 

 p. 69, closely fits what we understand by G. setifolia Eckl., an 

 absolutely distinct species, though placed as a variety of G. secunda 

 by him.
