Fruticulus gracilis, multiramosus, inferne nudus, griseus, superne 
foliosus; ramuli ultimi imbricato-foliosi, breves, patenter pubescentes. 
Folia ascendentia, apice paullulo incurva, ovata, fere cordata, obtusius- 
cula, circ. 2 mm. longa, T5 — 1-7 mm. lata, coriacea, utrinque glabra, 
subtus fere epunctata et ecostata, apicem versus paullulo obtuse 
gibbosa, margine haud incrassata, integra, eciliolata. Umbella capitata, 
5 — 10 mm. diam., floribus pallide carneis (sicco), pedicellis glabris, 
1-5 mm. longis; bracteolis minutissimae, ciliolatis, medio positis. 
Calyx circiter 1 mm. longus, utrinque glaber, segmentis ovatis, apice 
rotundatis, dorso obtuse carinatis, marginibus pectinato-ciliolatis. 
Petala breviter unguiculata, obovato-oblongiuscula, 2-5 — 3 mm. longa, 
1 mm. lata, unguibus parcissime pilosulis. Stamina glabra. Staminodia 
filiformia, circ. 2 mm. longa, medio valde inflata et pilosula, apice

Nearest to A. Muirii, Phillips (which should be transferred to the 
section Barosmaepetalae by rights), but differing in the ascending 
(not spreading or reflexed) more crowded, glabrous ovate leaves, 
epunctate dorsally, the slight dorsal callosity at the apex, eglandular 
glabrous pedicels, and floral characters. Dr Muir’s No. 928 from 
Oude Tuin, Albertinia, collected in June, 1913, and in the S.A. Museum 
Herb. (4999) appears to be a transition stage between this species and 
A. Muirii, Phillips. 
A. formosissima, A. adenandriflorae accedit, sed habitu robustiore, foliis 
majoribus, pedicellis villosis, segmentis calycis sine glandulis stipitatis, 
floribus multo majoribus differt. 
Fruticulus 0-3 m. altus, inferne nudus, superne verticillato-ramosus,

breves, patenter puberuli, visciduli, rubidi. Folia majuscula, patula, 
petiolata, late elliptica, basi paullulo rotundata, apice recurvo-subacuta, 
circiter 1 cm. longa, 4 — 5 mm. lata, crasse coriacea, paullulo viscidula, 
complanata, supra atro-viridia, nitidula, subtus pallidiora, costata, 
obscure 5 — 10-glanduloso-punctata, utrinque minute puberula, mar- 
gine recurva, vix incrassata, obscure punctato-glandulosa ; petioli com- 
planati, ad 1 mm. longi. Umbellae ramulos perbreves, foliatos, termi- 
nantes, 4 — 8-florae, floribus magnis, albo-roseis; pedicelli circiter 1cm. 
longi, albo-pilosi, brunnei; bracteolae basilares (2 — 3), late obovato- 
oblongae, scariosae, circiter 3 mm. longae, obtuse deltoideae vel fere
