Pungo ANDONGO.—1 to 1} ft. high, with somewhat curved apex ; 
flowers orange-yellow with small dark red spots; leaves rigid 
falcately curved, many-nerved, median nerve nearer to one side. Grows 
sparsely on the higher rocks of the presidium, in a place called Pedra

The following numbers comprise material insufficient for specific 
determination :— 
Hurtia.—Flowers large, vermilion-scarlet, secund, leaves linear- 
lanceolate, appearing later. Plentiful in dry thickets near Huilla. 
In fl. Oct., in fr. Nov. 1859. Cort. Carp. 72. The specimen consists 
only of a single capsule and seeds, and is apparently closely allied to 
G. Welwitschii Baker, from which however Welwitsch separated it as 
a new and distinct species. 
HuriLa.—Flowers scarlet ; leaves appearing later. Plentiful in 
sandy pastures near Lopollo. In fl. Oct. to Feb. Jan. 1860. CoLt. 
Carp. 1002. 
Perhaps near G. Welwitschii Baker. 
Huitia.—Feb. 1860. Cony. Carp. 1003. 
Huitta.—A single specimen in fruit. In sandy rocky wooded 
places near Mumpulla. Oct. 1859. No. 1542.

scarlet. About 5000 ft. above sea-level in sunny sandy-stony thicket- 
grown places around Lopollo and Humpata ; not by any means rare. 
In fl. and sparse fr. Nov. and Dec. 1859. No. 1539. 
Owing to lack of sufficient material the position of the following 
number is very doubtful :— 
Bumso.—Damp woods of Serra da Xella above Bumbo. Oct. 1859. 
No. 1554. A perennial herb with the habit almost of Iris, leaves 
leathery, distichously sheathing. Flowers not seen. Serra da Xella
