Floioering Plants and Ferns of the Cape Peninsula. 335 



8. G. YOmerculus Ker. We only know this from Baker's 

 citation, " Eastern declivity of Table Mountain, £^cA;Zo7i, 158," and it 

 appears to us hardly distinct from G. blandus. 



9. G. brevifolius Jacq. Flats and hill slopes, frequent ; 3-5. 

 The leaves are often produced in later flowering plants ; they are 

 often pubescent. We think G. jonquilliodorus Eckl. quite a distinct 

 species. Its corm has loose, thin, brown, papery tunics, stem 

 30 inches high or more, leafless. Leaves subterete, glabrous, withered 

 at the time of flowering. Flowers 9 to 15, crowded, small, pale, dull 

 yellow. Burchell, 748, "from the gardens at Cape Town," is the 

 latter species, and Wolley-Dod, 2392, Vygeskraal, just beyond our 

 limits, is the same, but we have not found it on the Peninsula. 



10. G. tabularis Eckl. High mountains, locally frequent ; 1-3. 

 Table Mountain and Devil's Peak. 



11. G. debilis Ker. Hill slopes, locally frequent ; 8-10. Not 

 seen north of Steenberg. Pappe's plant from Cape Flats is certainly 

 G. biflorus {ih. p. 146). 



12. G. biflorus Klatt. Damp places on the flats, occasional ; 

 6-9. Fish Hoek ; Uitvlugt ; Doornhoogde ; more frequent near 

 Wynberg. Very variable in size of flowers. 



13. G. cochleatus Sweet. "Lion's Mountain," Drege. Not 

 found by us. 



14. G. Pappei Baker. Bogs on high mountains, rare ; 12. 

 Lower Plateau, and by path towards Maclear's Beacon. Specimens 

 from these stations appear to be always one-flowered, but a deep- 

 coloured, two-flowered plant from Orange Kloof {Wolley-Dod, 3363) 

 may be this species, or possibly G. Rogersii Baker. Bolus, 3883, 

 placed by Baker under G. hastatus, belongs here. 



15. G. inflatus Thunb. Plateaux and plains, frequent ; 8-9. 

 Especially abundant at Fish Hoek and south of Constantiaberg. 



16. G. suaveolens Eckl. (G. involutus Delar.) "Eastern side 

 of Table Mountain," Ecklon and Zeylier. Not found by us. 



17. G. vittatus Hornem. " Cape Flats near Wynberg," 

 MacOioan and Bolus, Herb. Norm., 287. We do not understand this 

 species, which seems too near G. blandus. Perhaps Wolley-Dod, 

 388, from Vlaggeberg, belongs here. 



18. G. villosus Ker. Flats and hill slopes, frequent ; 7-9. 

 Especially frequent in Orange Kloof after a fire. 



19. G. scaphochlamys Baker. "Flats near Cape Town," 

 MacOioan, 2553. Looks rather near G. blandus, but that is a 

 mountain plant. Unless Wolley-Dod, 398 and 399, from Devil's 

 Peak belong here, we have not gathered it. 



20. G. blandus Ait. Mountain slopes, frequent ; 11-1. Abun- 

 dant in Waai Vley after a fire. Earely below 1,000 feet, but 

 gathered at 300 feet at Steenberg Farm. 



21. G. alatus Linn. Sandy flats and hill slopes, occasional ; 

 8-9. About Maitland and Mowbray ; west slopes Lion's Head : 

 Tokai.
