Flowering Plants and Ferns of the Cai:)e Peninsula. 339 



2. A. Thunbergianus Schult. Flats to mountain slopes, 

 apparently common, but we have no confidence in our ability to 

 distinguish this species from A. africanus ; 3-6. 



3. A. capensis Linn. Flats and lower slopes, frequent; 5-6. 

 Common on the Camp Ground and about Observatory, thinly 

 scattered elsewhere. 



4. A. africanus Lam. Similar situations to A. Thunbergianus, 



apparently common ; 3-6. One or other of these species varies 

 greatly in habit, perhaps both do. 



5. A. scandens Thunb. Shady woods in damp places, common 

 up to 2,000 feet ; 9. 



6. A. aethiopicus Linn. Dry kloofs at low elevations, rare ; 3-4. 

 South of Hout Bay ; above road in Orange Kloof ; Skeleton Eavine ; 

 Devil's Peak. Our specimens agree best with the description of this 

 species, but specimens of A. sarmentosus Linn, look no different. 



7. A. Kraussii Baker. Climbing in kloofs and woods, rare? 

 Not seen in flower. Near Constantia ; Klassenbosch ; Orange Kloof. 

 Liable to be mistaken for A. medeoloides, var. angustifolius. 



8. A. medeoloides Thunb. Bushes and kloofs, occasional ; 9. 

 Slopes towards Smitswinkel Bay ; between Wynberg and Alphen ; 

 railway between Diep Eiver and Muizenberg ; Wynberg Park. 



9. A. undulatus Thunb. Sandy fields and roadsides, rare ; 8-9. 

 About Hurley House on the Camp Ground. 



Kniphofia aloides Moench. Marshy ground to about 1,000 feet, 

 occasional, and flowering irregularly throughout the year. Orange 

 Kloof ; Devil's Peak ; Nordhoek ; Patrys Vley. 



Aloe gracilis Haw. Eocky ground, rare ; 9-10. Eidge beyond 

 Smitswinkel Vley ; near Slangkop. ' ^ 



Bulbinella robusta Kunth. Swamps from 1,500 to 3,000 feet 

 frequent, and abundant where it does occur ; 7-10. 



2. B. triquetra Kunth. Sandy plains, rare ; 9. Field at 

 northern end of Camp Ground. 



Bulbine favosa Eoem. et Schult. Flats and mountains, common ; 

 2-5. There appear to be two species included under this name. 

 The stouter form, as found by roadside near Claremont, has a yellow 

 digitate corm and seems to agree with Thunberg's Anthericum 

 favosum. The more slender mountain form has fewer flowers, and 

 a globose black-skinned corm. We have, however, noticed inter- 

 mediates, and so hesitate to split the species. 



2. B. asphodeloides Eoem. et Schult. Flats to mountain 

 slopes, frequent ; 8-9. Eacemes very dense ; pedicels slender, 

 usually refiexed after flowering. 



3. B. prsemorsa Eoem. et Schult. Shrubby places near the 

 coast, rare ; 6. " Hout Bay," Schlechter, 963 ! 



4. B. pugioniformis Link. Plateaux and slopes to about 

 1,000 feet, rare ; 3-4. Hills west of Simon's Town ; west slopes 

 Orange Kloof ; Steenberg rocks.
