bank of Keiap R., Narudas Slid, 8306. 
Ornithogalum Zeyheri, Baker. Eastern Karasberg. Narudas Slid, 7987. 
Ornithogalum prasinuin, Lindl. Eastern Karasberg. Sandstone, Narudas 
Slid, 8225. 
Ornithogalum karasbergense, Glover, n. sp., affine 0 . polyphlebio (e descriptione), 
sed pedicellis brevioribus, perianthii segmentis 3 — 5 nervatis, filamentis 
omnibus infra medium quadrato-dilatatis, distinguitur. 
Bulbus 2 — 3 cm. in diam., tunicis membranaceis, circa 8 cm. longis ; 
folia linearia vel lineari-lanceolata, glabra, 16 cm. longa, 0’2 — 0'3 cm. 
lata; racemus densus, ad 6 cm. longus, pedunculo glabro, ad 16 cm. 
longo, pedicellis erecto-patentibus glabris, ad 12 cm. longis; bracteae

dilatata, 0‘5 cm. longa, basi 0'2 cm. lata; discus 6-crenatus, ovario 
adnatus ; ovarium brevi-stipitatum. 
Eastern Karasberg. Sandy plains N.E. of and at Narudas Slid, 
8144, 7986. 
Near 0. polyphlebium, Baker, but is distinguished by its shorter 
pedicels, perianth-segments 3 — 5 nerved, and all the filaments being
