A. viscida, E. and Z., var. ciliata. 
Folia valde revoluta, primo albo-ciliata, pilis saepissime 2 mm. 
longis. Calyx dorso purpureo-punctato-glandulosus, lobis pectinato- 
ciliatis. Staminodia hirsutula. 
Cape Province: South-Western Region; Bredasdorp Div., rocky 
hill towards Bredasdorp (Elim), 600 ft., July, 1895, F. Guthrie, 3847! 
(in Herb. Bolus). 
A variety of A. viscida, E. and Z., distinguished by the more 
revolute leaves, the lower being conspicuously long-ciliate, the more 
markedly glandular punctation of the calyx, its ciliate lobes, and the 
less hirsute staminodes. 
A. Pottsii, A. uniflorae affinis sed foliis viscidulis ovatis, apice uncinatis, mar- 
ginibus haud revolutis, lobis calycis obtusioribus, conspicue reticulatis, 
ceterisque differt. 
Fruticulus humilis, ad 15 cm. altus, parce divaricato- vel dichotomo- 
ramosus, inferne nudus, nigrescens, superne foliosus, ramulis brevibus, 
erectiusculis vel curvatis, circ. 3 mm. longis, imbricato-foliatis, 
citrinis, patenter pubescentibus. Folia imbricata, apice uncinato- 
recurva, subsessilia, viscidula; lamina ovata, subacuminata, 3 — 5 mm. 
longa, 2-5 — 3 mm. lata, coriacea rigidaque, utrinque glabra, supra 
viridis, subtus pallidiora, punctato-glandulosa, fere carinato-costata, 
margine incrassata paullulo crenulato-glandulosa. Flores solitares, vel 
umbellae 2-florae, floribus pallide roseis (sicco), pedicellis foliosis ad 
5 mm. longis, bracteis inferne ciliatis. Calyx 8 mm. longus, lobis late 
ovatis 4 mm. latis, cuspidato-acutis, intus parcissime adpresso-pube- 
scentibus, extus glabris, obscure punctato-glandulosis, marginibus 
pectinato-ciliatis, apicem versus glabris, crenulatis. Petala breviter 
unguiculata, 1 cm. longa, glabra, limbo orbiculari vel fere reniformi, 
8 mm. lato. Staminodia filiformia, 3-5 — 4 mm. longa, albo-pilosa. 
Cape Province: South-Western Region; Stellenbosch Div., Stellen- 
bosch, Oct., 1911, Dr G. Potts, 1390! (in Herb. Bolus). 
Obviously related to A. uniflora, Willd., but differing in its branching 
system, imbricate to subimbricate relatively shorter and more ovate 
viscidulous leaves with a recurved hook-like apiculus, and not revolute 
though thickened margins, in the more rosy coloured flowers (often in 
twos), differently shaped bracts, more obtuse conspicuously reticulated 
calyx lobes, and more orbicular petal-limbs. 
A. biseriata, Meyer, var. gracilior. 
Folia vix coriacea, primo valde pilosa. Umbellae 1 — 2-florae, 
pedicellis gracilibus, ad 1-5 cm. longis glabris, medio bi-bracteolatis, 
bracteolis foliatis, 2 — 3 mm. longis. Calyx utrinque glaber, 6 mm. 
longus, lobis ovatis obtusiusculis, dorso vix glandulosis, apicem versus 
obtuse carinatis. Petala breviter unguiculata, 8 mm. longa, limbo
