5. B. annua Willd. Sandy plains, occasional ; 9. Beyond 

 Paulsberg ; Chapman's Bay. Perhaps frequent, but liable to be 

 mistaken for B. asphodeloides, from which it differs in its much 

 laxer raceme on a stouter less erect scape, with longer stouter 

 pedicels not reflexed after flowering. Its leaves are usually broader 

 and more fleshy. 



6. B. alooides Willd. Damp rocky ledges and shallow kloofs 

 from about 1,500 to 2,500 feet, frequent; 3, 6-8. We omit B. nutans 

 Eoem. et Schult., as Bolus, 3709, belongs, we believe, to the present 

 species. 



Eriospermum cernuum Baker. Flats and hills, rare ; 2-3. 

 Kenilworth ; Claremont ; near Hout Bay. 



2. E. lanceifolium Jacq. Pine woods and bushy places at low 

 elevations, occasional, but general ; 3-4. Cape Flats, &c. 



3. E. pubescens Jacq. Flats to mountain slopes, rare; 3. Near 

 summit Lion's Head ; Eondebosch Flats. 



4. E. spirals Berg. Flats, in clefts of granite rocks, rare ; 4. 

 Kenilworth racecourse, MacOican and Bolus, 1388. Flowers only 

 in wet years. 



Anthericum triflorum Ait. Hill and mountain slopes, locally 

 requent ; 8-11. Slopes of Lion's Head at and beyond Sea Point to 

 about 1,500 feet. 



2. A. serpentinum Baker. Hill slopes, locally occasional ; 10. 

 Lower slopes Lion's Head towards Kamp's Bay and behind the 

 village, Wolley-Docl, 2331. The leaves are not spirally twisted but 

 are strongly flexuose, so as to appear spiral w^hen pressed. 



3. A. chlamydophyllum Baker. Sandy places on low hill 

 slopes, rare ; 9-10. Behind Kamp's Bay, Wolley-Dod, 3358 ; 

 between Groot and Klein Slangkop, with slightly scabrous leaves, 

 Wolley-Dod, 3251. , Scape bent strongly outwards just above base. 

 Flowers very sweet-scented. 



4. A. brachypodum Baker. Common on fiats, rarely on moun- 

 tains ; 11-4. Devil's Peak at 1,800 feet. Clearly marked by its 

 subsimple panicle, with shortly pedicelled or subsessile flowers. 



5. A. elongatum Willd., (A. Jacquinianum Eoem. et Schult.). 

 Flats and low hills, common ; 10-4. Extreme forms approach the 

 last species. 



6. A. longepedunculatum Steud. Wet places on flats, ap- 

 parently common ; 8-10. We do not fully understand this species, 

 but it appears to be usually a small plant with large flowers. The 

 fruits, though usually globose, are sometimes quite twice as long as 

 broad. 



7. A. tabulare Baker. Damp plateaux and dripping rocks at 

 high elevations, locally frequent ; 10-2. Plentiful on Low^er Plateau, 

 also along Twelve Apostles, and above Waai Vley. 



8. A. canaliculatum Ait. Sandy flats and hills, frequent ; 7-10. 

 Especially frequent on Tokai Flats and the hills west of Simon's 

 Town.
