Olive Nation, 315, Herb. Bolus ; Maxalaquena Kiver, 1275 m., Schlechter, 
4280 ; Transvaal, Kirk, 109 ! Eastern Eegion Natal : Gerrard 1771 ! 
Allied to L. laxa, Eckl. and Zeyher, but with bistipulate leaves, linear 
lanceolate almost pungent leaflets, and long peduncled flowers, the 
peduncle almost at right angles to the axis and often geniculate. Gerrard's 
specimen from Natal is more slender in all its parts, but otherwise is in- 
separable. The species extends into Portuguese East Africa, where at 
Eessano Garcia it has been found by Dr. E. Schlechter (No. 11906).

Shinz's type specimen in no way differs from those cited by Baker, 
except in being more luxuriant, and is perfectly distinct from L. clandestina, 
Benth., to which the latter author referred his specimens.

The variety, which I have not seen, is reputed to differ in its more 
silvery-grey aspect and shorter leaflets.

South Africa. Western Eegion. Little Namaqualand : Lily Fontein, 
Ezel's Kop, 1200-1500 m., Drege, Herb. Keio ! 
A species represented by a small specimen in the Kew Herbarium, 
which has apparently never been rediscovered since the time of Drege.

South Africa. Eastern Eegion. Natal : Stony hill near Charlestown,

In many respects not unlike L, laxa, Ecklon and Zeyher, but with the 
indumentum less shiny and more hirsute-sericeous, shorter and broader 
leaflets, slightly larger flowers with a distinct obtuse carina.
