ovate-oblong, acute, minutely fringed at apex, connate at base for about one third 
of their length, 3 to 3} lines long, 1 to 14 line wide. Receptacle toothed ; ray 
florets ligulate, minutely tridentate at apex, 5 lines long, 1 line wide; disk florets

Habitat: Nara: Oliver’s Hook Pass, January, Wood No. 3601; Hlatikulu 
Hill, 6,000 to 7,000 feet alt., January, Evans, 397; Van Reenen’s Pass, 5,000 to 
6,000 feet alt., Wood, 8715. Also in Transvaal, Rehmann, 6133; and in O.R.

The genus Huryops includes about 30 species, one of which is found in 
Abyssinia and Arabia, the remainder are South African, and of these 4 or 5 are 
found in Natal, but only one of the Natal species attains the size of a small 
shrub. The plant here described does not appear to be very common, and has 
only been met with at high altitudes, where it is sometimes found in rather large 
patches.
