CULLUMIA intermedia DC. [family COMPOSITAE], ! l. c.
Rohria setosa Th. [family ], ! in Hb., expte.
Gorteria squarrosa Linn. [family COMPOSITAE], sp. 1284, excl. syn.
Information
branches diffuse, glabrous; leaves patent-recurved, decurrent, subulate, flat above; cilia on each side 2–3, longer than the breadth of the leaf; outer inv. sc. squarrose, spinous-ciliate like the leaves. Smaller and more diffuse and slender than any of this section, with very squarrose leaves. Lvs. 3–4 l. long, 1/2 l. wide. DC. attributes an “ inv. with erect scales ” to his C. intermedia, but in Drege's distributed specimens (Hb. D., Hk., Sd.) they are quite squarrose; nor can I find any character to distinguish “ C. intermedia .”
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA W. and E. districts. Cape, Thunb.!, Drege! Langekloof, Mundt & Maire. Muysenberg; and Olifants Hoek, Uit., E. & Z.! Knysna, Dr. Pappe! (Herb. Th., D., Hk., Sd.)
