59 
densissime ciliolata. Calyx 8 — 10 mm. longus, dorso lilacino-roseus, 
breviter albo-pilosus, segmentis oblongo-lanceolatis, obtuse acuminatis, 
complanatis, dorso obscure glanduloso-punctatis, marginibus albo- 
pilosis. Petala vix unguiculata, late oblanceolata, obtusa, 12 — 15 mm. 
longa, 2-5 — 3 mm. lata, utrinque parce pubescentia, margine paullulo 
pilosa. Stamina circiter 1 cm. longa, glabra. Staminodia flliformi- 
oblonga, apice truncato-glandulosa, crassiuscula, 7 mm. longa, 0-7 mm.

(Herb. Bolus, No. 15849!). 
The largest-flowered of all the Agathosmas, and more like an 
Adenandra superficially. It is allied to A. adenandri flora, Schlechter, 
but differs in its more robust habit, larger leaves, villous pedicels, 
calyx-segments without stipitate glands, and much larger flowers. The 
specimens were secured at the Cape Town Wild-Flower Show, held in 
October, 1916. 
A. cedrimontana, A. squamosae affinis, sed habitu robustiore, foliis minus 
adpressis, pro ratione longioribus angustioribusque, capitulis majori- 
bus, floribus pedicellatis, carpellis immaturis leviter barbatis differt. 
Fruticulus 0-5 m. altus, habitu A. squamosae, B. et W., inferne 
nudus, griseus, superne multo dichotomo-ramosus, ramulis confertis, 
rectis, pallide brunneis, glabris, foliosis. Folia fere adpressa, sub- 
imbricata, perbreviter petiolata vel subsessilia, ovalia, obtusa, 2 — 
2-5 mm. longa, 1 — 1-3 mm. lata, subcoriacea, utrinque glabra, supra 
concava, subtus convexa, obscure verruculoso-glandulosa, margine 
dense pectinato-albo-ciliolata, mox fere glabra. Umbellae numerosae, 
capitatae, 5 — 15-fl. (raro 1-fl.), 5 — 10 mm. diam., floribus albis; pedi- 
celli breves, 1 — 1-5 mm. longi, glabri, medio bracteolati; bracteolae 
1 mm. vix excedentes, ciliolatae. Calyx T5 — T7 mm. longus, utrinque 
glaber, segmentis triangularibus, obtusis, extra obtuse carinatis, mar- 
ginibus pectinato-ciliolatis. Petala unguiculata, 4-5 mm. longa, glabra, 
lamina anguste obovata, vix 1 mm. lata. Stamina 5 mm. longa, 
glabra; staminodia lanceolata, minute glanduloso-capitata, medio 
pectinato-pilosula. Pistillum superne barbatulum, stylo flliformi glabio.

bergen, Dec. 1913, Mrs R. Pattison (Herb. Bolus, No. 15832!). 
Closely allied to A. squamosa, B. and W., of the section Imbricatae, 
from which its more robust habit, less adpressed relatively laigei and 
narrower leaves, larger flower-heads, pedicellate flowers, longei petals 
and slightly bearded immature carpels, separate it. 
A. Bodkinii, ab omnibus sectionis Imbricatae habitu alpino, foliis utrinque 
minute pubescentibus, marginibus haud pectinato-ciliatis, floribus 
minimis, stylo pubescente differt.
