Some New South Africcm Succulents. 409 
ticulata. Eacemi 1-3, ex centro foliorum, robusti, simplices, bracteis 
ovato-acuminatis ; floribus longe pedicellatis, nutantibus. Perianthium 
cylindricum, utrinque paullo attenuatum; segmenta exteriora libera vel 
basi baud connata, apicibus erectis ; interiora paullo longiora, apicibus 
recurvis, faucem apertam, rotundam formantibus ; stamina stylusque 
demum breviter exserta. 
Diam. of rosette of leaves 15-20 cm. ; leaves 20-30, each 6-10 cm. long, 
at the base 12-15 mm. broad, and half as thick, with a convex upper and 
lower face, curving upwards from the middle. Teeth very numerous, 
small, white, 1-2 mm. long, mostly straight or occasionally incurved 
towards the apex of the leaf. Peduncle stout, the bare portion 6-12 inches 
long with a few broader bracts ; the floriferous part finally 6-10 inches 
long, with acuminate bracts, which are green with purple margins, or, 
especially lower down, quite purple. Flowers brick-red, the outer segments 
with a green midrib near the blunt apex, the inner segments pale greenish 
with a deep-green, oblong apex. Anthers orange, finally exserted. 
Described from plants collected near Pella, in Little Namaqualand, 
by Mr. J. H. C. Krapohl, and flowering in my garden at Capetown in 
May, 1909. Marloth, 4673. 
Haworthia limifolia, n. spec. (Sect. Margaritifera.) 
Acaulis. Folia dense rosulata, ovato-lanceolata, acuminata, supra 
concava, obscure-viridia, non-tuberculata sed supra subtusque numerosis 
(15-20) lineis elevatis, undulatis transverse striata. 
Diam. of rosette of leaves 6-8 cm. ; leaf 3-4 cm. long and 18-20 mm. 
broad at its base ; peduncle 20-30 cm. high, raceme 5-8 cm. long ; 
perianth slightly 2-lipped, the tube slightly inflated below, green, 
10-12 mm. long, the recurved segments 5-6 mm. long, with a touch 
of pink and a green midrib. 
The surface-markings of the leaves are quite different from those of 
any other species, and might be sufficient to constitute a new section, 
viz., Limifolia, on account of the similarity of the surface to that of a 
coarse file. 
The plants were received from Mr. Medley Wood, director of the 
Botanic Gardens at Durban, who obtained them originally from the 
country West of Delagoa Bay. Flowering at Capetown, in December, 
1908. Marloth, No. 4678.
