2. T. crispa Ker. Mountain slopes, rare ; 10-11. North slopes 

 Lion's Head at about 1,200 feet. Var. grandiflora, Kasteel 

 Poort. Var. parviflora, "Lion's Eump," Pappe ; "foot of Table 

 Mountain," MacOwan. 



Acidanthera tubulosa Baker. Hills at about 800 feet, rare ; 

 10-11. Hills west of Simon's Town, Wolley-Dod, 2036. 



2. A. pauciflora Benth. Damp places on flats and low hills, 

 rare ; 11. Near Muizenberg Vley, Wolley-Dod, 3655. Liable to be 

 mistaken for Gladiolus angustus or hastatus. We think No. 946 

 of MacOioan and Bolus, Herb. Norm., to belong here, as Baker first 

 placed it, rather than to the last species. 



3. A. sabulosa Schltr. Sandy flats, rare ; 10. Camp Ground, 

 Wolley-Dod, 3419. 



4. A. rosea Schinz. " Summit of Devil's Peak," Schlechter, 75. 

 Not seen by us. 



Synnotia bicolor Sweet. Dry grassy fields and hillsides, rare ; 

 8-10. About Observatory ; Lion's Head. 



Gladiolus grandis Thunb. Among shrubs on hill slopes, rather 

 rare ; 5-11. Devil's Peak ; Silvermine Valley ; Muizenberg ; 



Constantia. 



2. G. tristis Linn. Mountain slopes, rare ; 9-10. West slopes 

 Devil's Peak at 2,500 feet, Wolley-Dod, 1761. Appears to be var. 

 concolor. 



3. G. recurvus Linn. Flats to mountain slopes, common ; 5-9. 

 Very variable in colour, and perhaps not specifically distinct from 

 the last. An obvious hybrid with G. Watsonius was gathered by 

 Mr. Bodkin on the Steenberg, growing with both parents. 



?G. angustus Linn. Wet places, rare?; 9-11. We are 

 doubtful of the occurrence of this plant within our limits, though it 

 is frequent about Vygeskraal Farm, just beyond them. Bolus, 2824 

 is much more like G. blandus ; MacOioan and Bolus, 284 is probably 

 some other species, and we have not seen MacOioan, 2605. {Vide 

 Fl. Cap. vi. p. 140.) 



4. G. hastatus Thunb. Marshy places on flats and hills, locally 

 frequent ; 9-1. The Kordmetjes ; marsh north of Constantiaberg. 

 The leaves are quite flat, not subterete, and the flowers are cream- 

 coloured, with mauve or crimson blotches. Burchell, 8414 and 

 8506 are most probably G. Watsonius. Bolus, 3883, is certainly 

 G. Pappei. Wriglit, 251, has no flowers in Herb. Kew. (ih. p. 141). 



5. G. gracilis Jacq. Flats and slopes to 800 feet, frequent ; 7-9. 



6. G. tenellus Jacq. Hill slopes, locally frequent ; 7-9. Devil's 

 Peak ; Lion's Head. A small well-marked species, with dark brown 

 flowers inclining to purplish, but translucent and very rigid. Zcyher, 

 1628 is not this species {ih. p. 141). 



7. G. aureus Baker. Sandy flats, very local ; 8-9. Chapman's 

 Bay.
