Crassula filamentosa, Schonl. nom. nov. (Plate v, fig. 16.) 
Cr. muscosa, Harv. (non Linn.) pr. pte in Harvey and Sonder, FI. 
Cap. ii, 351. 
Herbacea tenera e basi valde ramosa. Rami totum foliosi elongati 
flexuosi sub-simplices inferne cum ramulis abbreviatis caulibus albis 
subteretibus internodiis foliis subaequilongis vel subduplo longioribus. 
Folia carnosula incur va vel paten tia ovata obtusa vel sublanceolata 
subacuta applanata, minutissime papillosa. Flores pentameri ex 
axillis foliorum superiorum fasciculati, fasciculis 2-multifloris, sub- 
sessiles vel pedicellati. Sepala oblongo-lanceolata extus minutissime 
papillosa quam petala parum longiora. Petala alba oblonga acuta 
minutissime cuspidata patentia. Stamina quam petala breviora fila- 
mentis albis subulatis antheris luteis ovatis. Ovaria oblique sub- 
ovata 2-ovulata, stilis brevissimis subulatis. Squamae minutae apice 
latae rotundatae leviter emarginatae, basi breviter stipitatae. 
Length of branches 3 — 6 cm. Leaves about 3 mm. long. Pedicels 
of some flowers very minute, others 2 — 3 mm. 
long. Sepals about 1 mm. long. Petals very 
slightly shorter. 
The description and measurements are 
taken from live specimens collected at Majuba- 
nek, Herschel distr., by Mr J. Hepburn (Jan. 
1916, no. 150). 
The following have somewhat narrower and more pointed leaves, 
and may have more acuminate sepals : 
Kingwilliamstown, T. R. Sim, /l773 ; Broughton near Molteno, 
Fl anagan. 1695 : Cala distr., Miss A. Pegler, 1532 ; Bloemfontein, Potts, 
485 ; Summit of Bu ft el sriver Waterfall, Basutoland, Galpin, 6618 ; 
Leribe, Basutoland, Phillips, 6403 ; Doornkop, Burke, 381 ; Z. 346 ; 
Fairglen near Pretoria, Transvaal Mus. Hei’b. 1121 ; Hontbosch, 
Rehmann, 5966. 
Some specimens under Phillips, 6403, have thicker stems, branched 
above the base, and shorter internodes than the type. 
This species is not identical with Crassula muscosa, L., Cr. muscosa, 
Thunb.. nor with Tillaea muscosa, L. It has, therefore, to receive a new 
name. I think it is sufficiently distinct from the following species, 
Fig. 13.
