59. R. Sehlechteri, sp. nov. 
Species ad R. viscidulam, Steud., valde accedens. Caulis flexuosus. Stipulae lanceolataes 
acuminatae. Folia trifoliolata, petiolata, foliola terminalia ovata acuta, 12-15 mm. longa» 
10-12 mm. lata, longiora quam lata, foliolis lateralibus ovato-lanceolatis, 10-16 mm. longis, 
9-12 mm. latis, petiolulia terminalibus 5 mm. longis, petiolo communi 8-20 mm. longo suffulta. 
Pedunculi 2-6-6+5 cm. longi, pauciflori. Flores lutei, 10-12 mm. longi. Calycis tubus 
campanulatus, segmentis lineari-lanceolatis quam petala brevioribus. Veaillum glabrum.

NAMAQUALAND,—Between Spektakel and Komagoas, Bolus No. 6559; Breast 
damm, Schlechter No. 1115. A glandular plant. 
Differs entirely from the preceding in the shape of the leaflets; the lateral leaflets are 
unequalsided, ovate, acute, 10-16 mm. long, 9-12 mm. broad. 
IMPERFECTLY KNOWN SPECIES. 
R. trichodes, Harvey, 1.c. 258 (Copisma trichodes, E. Mey., “Oomm.,” 134). 
Stem Fprocumbent, flexuous, very hairy, with patent yellow hairs. Leaflets elliptio- 
oblong, subacute, netted veined, yellow hairy on both sides, gland-dotted beneath, equalling 
the petiole. Peduncles one-flowered, equalling the leaf. Legumes unripe, straightish, villous. 
Capg.—Drége, no locality assigned. 
The “ Index Kewensis” refers this species to R. Totta, D.C. 
R. nitida, Harvey, l.c. (Copisma mtidum, E. Mey., “ Comm.,” 136). 
Stem terete, a voluble, glabrescent. Leaves EA triangular, jie scarcely 
unequalsided, glabrous, and shining on both sides, ciliate. Racemes “equalling the leaves, 
few-flowered. Flowers suberect, pedicels equalling the pubescent, nearly glandless calyx. 
Pod falcate, glabrescent, about three-seeded. 
Capre.—Grassy hills near Omsameulo, Drége. 
If the description is correct, this cannot be a species of BEE as the ovary in this 
genus only has two ovules.
