Nearest to I,, intermedia. Lindl., from which it is well distinguished 

 by the much broader, almost triangularly ovate saturate green leaves, 

 which lire- thinner, Iaxer. and more glabroseout than those of any other 

 species. The armat urc of the calyx is less tirmly spinose than that of 

 L. avata. Spr., more so than the almost unarmed L. intermedia , Lindl. 

 Besides the specimens distributed from Tyson's collection, there is a 

 characteristic example in the Cap, Government Herbarium, marked 

 " Port Natal," probably from Queinzius.

 lately by Dr. King's collectors.
