FOOTNOTES:
[A] Note.—Having been asked by Dr. Pole Evans to see the proofs of the first sheets of this new work through the press, he empowered me to make any change of nomenclature that might be necessary. For owing to the want of types and some of the rarer books at Pretoria, it is not always possible to make correct identifications there. From this cause the plants represented upon Plates 3 and 4 were misidentified, and the names “Arctotis decurrens” and “Cyrtanthus angustifolius” already printed upon the plates before they came into my hands for verification and found to represent new species. I have therefore substituted new names for these two plants, and have added Latin descriptions compiled from the drawings and Dr. Phillips’ English descriptions, which have not been altered.
It may not be out of place to state that the true Arctotis decurrens, Jacq. (which this species was supposed to be), differs by the basal leaves having usually only one small lobe or (grown under the condition of much moisture in a rich soil) two lobes on each side, and an elongated ovate oblong terminal lobe twice or more than twice as long as broad; the branching stem and peduncles have small entire leaves scattered along them; the ray florets are without a yellow spot at the base, and the pappus-scales are truncate (not pointed) at the tips.—N. E. Brown.
[B] As stated under Plate 3, this plant had been supposed to be a form of C. angustifolius, and that name has unfortunately been printed upon the plate. It proves to be an entirely new species, well characterised by the very slender curved basal part of the flower-tube, and the long, tapering and very acute tips of the leaves, which are narrowed at the base into terete petioles, and also, to judge from the figure, are not produced at the same time as the flowers. In the true C. angustifolius, Aiton, the flowers and leaves are produced at the same time, the latter are flat to the base and very shortly pointed at the tips; the tube of the flower gradually narrows from apex to base without being contracted into a very slender basal part, and is less curved there.
There is a large-flowered variety of C. angustifolius known as var. grandiflorus, Baker, which does not seem to be clearly understood in South Africa. A good figure of it, but reduced in size, appears in the Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1905, vol. 37, p. 261, f. 110, No. 2.—N. E. Brown.
