SOUTH AFRICAN SPECIES OF 
ties. Towards the East the plants become more slender and have 
smaller leaves than in the West. 
I have examined one of the types of Cr. anguina, Harv. (Z. 641). 
The author says that it is larger, with the leaves closely appressed. 
I have grown for years specimens from Namaqualand which agree 
exactly with the type, but neither the plant itself nor the leaves are 
larger than other specimens belonging undoubtedly to Cr. lycopodioides, 
in fact they agree in every particular except that in some of the 
Namaqualand specimens the leaves have no abbreviated axillary 
shoots and consequently they are not forced apart. 
I see, therefore, no reason to retain Cr. anguina, Harv. as a separate 
species. I agree with Harvey in uniting the various species of Ecklon 
and Zeyher which I have quoted, and I find it even difficult to separate 
the varieties which Harvey has instituted. (Compare Schonland in 
Ann. S. Afr. Mus. IX, 51.) In addition to the specimens quoted 
(which will sufficiently indicate its range) I have examined numerous 
others. 
This species connects the “ Tillaeoideae ” with the subgenus 
Pyramidella.
