Cape Province: South-Western Region; Clanwilliam Div., top of 
Sneeuwkop Mountain, 6000 ft; in rocky clefts, Jan., 1898, Leipoldt, 
650! (in Herb. S.A. and Albany Museums, Bolus). 
This plant, which mimics forms of A. imbricata, is assigned to the ' 
section Pseudostemon however, on account of its staminodia being 
attached to the claws of the petals. Its affinity is with A. humilis, 
from which it differs in its shorter, broader, more elliptic leaves, which 
are moreover puberulous on both sides, in the dense-flowered capitate 
umbels, almost sessile flowers, and the broadly spatulate calyx-seg- 
ments. The flowers I have examined are peculiar in maturing only 
one carpel. 
The material was distributed as a form of A. imbricata, but the 
plant is distinguished from that species and its multifarious forms, 
by its relatively shorter, more thickish and more obtuse leaves, which 
are puberulous on both sides, have not the conspicuous dorsal gland- 
punctation on the leaf nor the costate keel of the latter plant. Lei- 
poldt states that the species is a low bush, very common, and has 
sweet smelling flowers. 
Superficially not unlike a Stilbe, hence the specific name.
