These were provisionally named by Schlechter as Barosma Marlothii, cf. 
Marloth, Das Kapland, Wiss. Ergeb. Deutsch. Tief. Exp. n, iii (1908), 
175. 
A. Keetii, A. Marlothii accedit, sed facie glauciore, foliis minoribus, ovatis 
vel late ovatis, marginibus haud impresso-glandulosis, pedicellis 
calycibusque multo brevioribus puberulisque, ceterisque differt. 
Fruticulus gracilis, superne verticillato-ramosus, ad 0-3 m. altus, 
ramulis florentibus gracilibus, dense griseo-pubescentibus, foliatis ad 
10 cm. longis. Folia ascendentia vix subimbricata, mox patula, per- 
breviter petiolata, ovata vel late ovata, obtusa, 2 — 4 mm. longa, 1-5 — 2 
mm. lata, coriacea, complanata, griseo-viridia, paullulo glaucescentia, 
subtus pallidiora, supra glabra, subtus parce griseo-pubescentia, mox 
glabrescentia, obscure punctato-glandulosa costataque, margine 
paullo incrassata, haud punctato-glandulosa, primo basin versus parce 
ciliolata, mox integra. Umbellae 3 — 7-florae, ad 1-5 cm. diam., floribus 
carneis (sicco); pedicelli 3 mm. longi, patenter puberuli. Calyx extra 
puberulus, circiter 2 mm. longus, lobis crassiusculis, oblongis, obtusis, 
dorso obtuse carinatis, marginibus ciliatis. Petala sessilia, obovata 
vel obovato-elliptica, obtusa vel rotundata, 4 mm. longa, 1-7 — 2 mm. 
lata, supra e basi margineque parcissime puberula. Stamina 3-5 — 4 mm. 
longa, glaberrima. Staminodia circiter 0-7 — 1 mm. longa, oblonga, 
parce pubescens, apice rotundata. Stylus filiformis, 3 — 4 mm. longus, 
cum ovario, glaber.

Related to and with the habit of A. Marlothii, mihi, but with a 
more glaucescent or greyish aspect, smaller differently shaped leaves 
glabrescent above at maturity, and with their margins not impresso- 
glandular, much shorter and puberulous pedicels and calyces (the 
latter with marginal ciliation), and relatively longer petals. 
A. perplexa, A. craspedotae et A. fraudulentae accedit, sed ab ilia petalis 
staminodiisque minutis, ab hac habitu, foliis ellipticis eglandulosis, 
pedicellis glabris, staminodiis minoribus, petalis eglandulosis differt. 
Fruticulus decumbens, dense foliatus, ramis magis minusve sim- 
plicibus, ad 15 cm. longis, minute puberulis. Folia ascendentia, vel 
subpatula, breviter petiolata, complanata, elliptica vel late-elliptica, 
subacuta vel obtusa, 5 — 8 mm. longa, 2-5 — 3-5 mm. lata, coriacea, 
utrinque puberula et ochraceo-viridia, subtus obscure costata, epunc- 
tata, margine paullulo incrassata, magis minusve glanduloso-crenulata, 
ciliolata. Umbellae 4 — 5-florae, floribus roseis (sicco) ; pedicelli citrini, 
glabri, 5 — 7 mm. longi. Calyx 2-5 — 3 mm. longus, glaber, obscure
