HI 
The specimen consists of two leaves and two flowering stems. It was collected on 
mountains at Roode Zand, near Tulbagh Waterfall. 
A. lingua, Thunb., is wrongly quoted by Baker in the “ Fl. Cap.,” Vol. VI. p. 291 
(although omitted from the index), as being partly Gasteria disticha, whilst A. linguaeformis, 
ane f.,1s not quoted at all, no attention having been paid to Haworth’s correct statement 
Phil. Mag.,” Nov. (1827), Vol. II, p. 353, that Thunberg’s plant was Rhipidodendrum 
Re iin. Willd. in Ges. Naturf. Fr. Berl. Mag. Vol. Way. 165 (1811), which is a synonym 
of Aloe plicatilis. 
A. maculata, Thunb., “ Diss. Aloe,” p. 8 (1785), and “ Fl. Cap.,” p. 311. 
There are two sheets of this marked a and $. 
Sheet a contains portions of two leaves and a raceme of what I believe to be 
Gasteria pulchra, Haw., “ Synop.,” p. 86 (1819). 
Sheet 3 (which also has the name `` obliqua, Haw.,” written upon it in pencil) contains 
the apical half of some large and broad-leaved species of Gasteria, totally different from 
G. pulchra, which | cannot identify, and two inflorescences of some species of Aloe that 
are indeterminable. 
Thunberg states that A. maculata grows on the Outeniqua Mountains, and often 
cultivated at Capetown, so that his specimens may have been partly obtained from both 
places. 
A. perfoliata, Thunb., `` Diss. Aloe,” p. 5 (1785), and ` Fl. Cap.,” p. 310. 
There are three sheets bearing this name, marked a, 3, and 7. 
Sheet a contains one leaf about 7 inches long and 2? inches broad, a tuft of four small 
leaves about 21 inches long and 1 inch broad, and two single flowers. These fragments 
may really belong to three different species ; it is not possible to name them with certainty. 
Sheet @ contains part of a leaf and two inflorescences, which I believe to belong to 
A. latifolia, Haw., “ Synop.,” p. 82 (1812). 
Sheet 7 contains part of a leaf and a flower-spike of A. vera, Linn., “ Sp. Pl.” p. 320. 
The locality given by Thunberg for A. perfoliata is the Karroo beyond Swellendam. 
on the sides of mountains. Sheet 7, however, is labelled on the back as having been sent 
from the West Indies by Forsstrém, where A. vera has been introduced from the Canaries. 
A. picta, Thunb., “ Diss. Aloe,” p. 6 (1785), and “ Fl. Cap.,” p. 310. 
This species is not represented by any specimen so named in Thunberg’s Herbarium. 
He founded it upon A. perfoliata, vars. 7, 4, u, v, Linn., “Sp. PL,” ed. 1, p. 320. 
A. pumala, Thunb., Diss. Aloe,” p. 7 (1785),-and ~ Fl. Cap.,” p. 311. 
There are two sheets so named, marked a and 2. 
Sheet a contains a tuft of leaves of Haworthia fasciata, Haw., ` Suppl.,” p. 57 (1819). 
on the left-hand side, and on the right-hand side a tuft of leaves of Haworthia granata, 
Haw., ` suppl.,” p. 57 (1819). Hach of these tufts has a flower-stem placed among them, 
but detached, which may or may not belong to the leaves; I am rather doubtful if thev are 
properly placed. 
Sheet ? contains two leaves and a paniculately branched flowering-stem of what 
I believe to be Haworthia margaritifera, Haw., ` Suppl.,” p. 55 (1819), bus the material is 
too poor to make the identification certain. 
No locality is given for this species, but sheet a is labelled on the back as being from 
plants cultivated in Upsala Botanic Garden. 
N.B.—Aloe pumila, Linn., “ Sp. PL.” ed. 1, p. 322, is likewise a mixture of two or 
three species of Haworthia with white tubercles, so that it is probable that at that date 
several species of this type were considered to be forms of one species.
