36. — P. longifolia, L. ; {Pt. costata, Bory, Pfc. 
ensifolia, Sw.) Close by open running water, sparse- 
ly through the Colony. Very fine in the fumes of a 
hot sulphurous spring, Inhlimbiti, at 2,500ft. eleva- 
tion. Tropical and warm temperate regions all 
round the world ; but not in Cape Colony.— N.

Drakensberg, 3,000ft. and upwards. — TJ. 
38. — P. quadriaurita , Betz. ; {Pt. catoptera , Kze ) 
About open streamlets in the lower parts of the 
Colony, and in the moist bush of the uplands. Trans- 
vaal; notin Cape., All round the world within the 
Tropics, and a little beyond them. (The usually ac- 
curate Kuhn confounds this plant with P. biaurita, 
L. See below.)- — N. 
39. — P.Jlabellata , Thbg. ; ( P. arguta var. flabellata,

[P. {Campteria) biaurita, L. {Pt. nemoralis, Willd.?) 
A plant having all the appearance of the Tropical P. 
biaurita, grows freely from Inanda to Tugela, ranging 
_pbout 20 to 30 miles from the ocean and 2,000ft. eleva- 
tion. but it has the free venation of P. quadriaurita, 
to which Mr. Baber joins it as a variety. Perhaps 
this is the plant which Kuhn quotes from P. & R. as 
P. catoptera, Kze., but which the Rawson Herbarium 
proves to be P. quadriaurita. The true P. biaurita, L., 
is found in the same Herbarium labelled Campteria 
biaurita ; locality unknown.]
