Names
EUSTEGIA fraterna N. E. Br. [family ]
EUSTEGIA hastata Spreng. [family ], Neue Entdeck. i. 268, t. 1, fig. 5–10, and Syst. Veg. i. 854, not of R. Br.
Information
plant in habit, size and form of leaves, arrangement and size of flowers exactly as in E. minuta, differing as follows: corona-lobes of the outer and middle series about 3/4 lin. long, shorter than the style; outer series entire, 1/3 lin. broad, linear-oblong, rounded at the apex, with a large gibbosity on the inner face near the top; middle series divided 1/2– 3/4 of the way down into 3 linear segments about 1/8– 1/6 lin. broad, with the middle one much longer than the lateral and having a large gibbosity on its inner face at the base, and the base of the lateral segments or margin of the united part more or less dilated into inflexed auricles; inner series entire, 1/3 lin. long, linear or linear-oblong, obtuse, scarcely exceeding the anther-appendages; style exserted 1/2 lin. beyond the anther-appendages, 1/3 lin. thick and oblong or sometimes nearly as thick as long, very obtuse. null
Distribution
COAST REGION Cape Div.; near Green Point, Zeyher, 4697! Prior (Alexander)! near Cape Town, Harvey! Lion Mountain, Harvey! Var. β: Tulbagh Div.; hills near Piquetberg Road (Gouda), 400 ft., Schlechter, 10710!SOUTH AFRICA without locality, Drège, 6391!
Notes
This may be only a variety of E. minuta, but it conspicuously differs by the middle series of corona-lobes being shorter than the style and very much less deeply divided. The figure of E. hastata in Engl. and Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. ii. 234, fig. 68 N-P, may possibly be intended for this plant; but the lateral segments of the middle series of corona-lobes are not represented as being auriculate at the base.
