BOTANY. 401 



outside, throat with a ring of deflexed pilose hairs inside ; lobes 5, 

 lanceolate-linear, acute, a little exceeding the tube. Anthers subsessile, 

 lanceolate, acute, with narrowly cordate base. Disk glabrous, ovary 

 2-celled, style shortly exserted ; stigma capitate-oblong. 



Matabele Land. 



Apparently a very small bush, and markedly distinct in appearance 

 from any other species. The one most nearly resembling it, in habit 

 and shape of flowers, appears to be Welwitsch, n. 5382, from Angola, 

 at present undescribed. In the former edition of this work our plant 

 is mentioned as " Fadogia Zeyheri, Sond. ?" which it very closely 

 resembles in general habit, but the 2-celled ovary, and opposite, not 

 verticillate, leaves, render it unquestionably a species of Canthium. 



Order COMPOSITE.

Between Pietermaritzburg and the Crocodile River. 

 Omitted in the former edition of this work. 



23. NlDORELLA, sp. 

 Matabele Land. 



Two specimens very closely resemble the South African N. 

 auriculata, De Cand., and may indeed represent a form of that 

 species. The lower portions of the specimens are wanting, but 

 the upper sessile leaves are markedly broader at the base than 

 elsewhere, while in the genuine South African plant the base of 

 the leaf is almost invariably more or less attenuate. Additional 

 material is wanting to settle the point. This, together with the 

 following, figures in the former edition of this work as " Nidorella 

 aurictelata, De Cand." 



24. NlDORELLA, sp. 

 Matabele Land. 



Mixed with the preceding is the upper branching portion of 

 another plant, with very scabrous pubescence, and very narrow leaves, 

 somewhat broader at the base, Avhich I can only identify with a 

 specimen gathered at Henry's Pan, Eastern Bamangwato Territory, 

 Bechuana Land, by Dr. Holub. Whether it represents a distinct 

 species I am unable to say, Dr. Holub's specimens, likewise, only 

 showing the upper portion of the plant. The genus is an exceptionally 

 difficult one, and other specimens at Kew from neighbouring regions 

 are as yet undetermined. (See note under the preceding species.)
