Cape.— (Thunberg, Menzies), Orange Free State (Cooper). 
Natal. — (M‘Ken). This is quite distinct from the European S. denticu- 
lata, with which Spring combines it.” 
This is evidently rare, as Schlechtendal (Adum. 8), Kunze 
(Linn. 10.487), and Pappe and Rawson (53), all place it among 
ltttle known or doubtful species, and Kuhn only records “ Cape 
(Thunberg), Natal (Gueinzius) ; ” while I have seen no specimens 
alive nor in the herbaria. 
Buchanan gives “ S. denticulata, Link., in damp parts of bush 
in most parts of Natal,” which seems to belong to this species, as 
S. Kraussiana, Br., which is also cultivated as L. denticulatum, is 
separately mentioned by him.

Plate 157. Fig. 1. Natural size. 
Stem procumbent or sub-erect, herbaceous, half-line diameter, 
not including leaves, one to three feet long, pinnately branched, 
jointed at each branch, and with one root at the base of each 
branch. Branches ascending or procumbent, branching re- 
peatedly in a pinnate manner, the ultimate branches often 
dichotomous. Leaves of two kinds, rather distant, except at the 
points of the branches ; the lower ones spreading, horizontal, 
broadly lanceolate, pointed, one to two lines long, one-half to one 
line broad, slightly oblique, minutely toothed all along the edges. 
The smaller leaves lie along the upper surface of the stem in two 
rows, flat, with the point upturned, lanceolate-acuminate, one line 
long, one-third line broad, very oblique at the base. Spikes on 
the lower branches, one-half to three-quarter inches long, half-line 
broad, four-angled from the ovate acuminate keeled bracts, being 
arranged in four regular rows.
