This species, for the determination of which I am indebted to 

 Kew, is a native of Uruguay and the Argentine. Mr. Sim notes 

 that it is abundant at Edendale. I have no information as to the 

 circumstances under which it was introduced. 



V. pulchella is easily distinguished from other South African 

 species by the presence of the glandular appendages of the 

 anthers.
