26. S. pachyglossum Schlechter. Krantzkop, McKen, 16; near 
Boston, 3-4,000 feet, Wood, 5760 (2), "Flowers green"; near Enon,

151. Var. abbreviatum N. B. Brown. Without precise locality, Gerrard, 
1303. This plant is evidently very variable, not only in the corona lobes 
and colour of flowers, but also in size of leaves, pubescence, and height of 
stems, one of the Zululand specimens has stems of 3 feet in length, and 
some in other collections of 2 feet or more.

Howick, 3-4,000 feet, Mrs. Hutton, 404 ; Zululand, Gerrard, 1308. In a 
note to this plant in the " Flora Capensis" Mr. Brown says: The method 
of fertilisation of this plant would appear to be of a very special and com- 
plicated nature, as the unusually large basal teeth or lobules alternating 
with the corona-lobes so completely cover and conceal the opening at the 
base of the anther-wings, through which alone access to the stigma can be 
obtained, that it is difficult to understand how the pollen-masses can be 
inserted in it by an insect, as they must be for fertilisation to take place."
