Notes
B. obtusata is only known to me from Hb. Wendland, but Sieber's plant is very near it, and only differs by the peduncles equalling the calyx. A. vestita, Willd., is certainly not specifically different, for the twigs, in the original specimen, are not glabrous, but glabrescent, and the peduncles are not always glabrous, but mostly downy or pilose at base. Many specimens of A. imbricata, collected in the Cape flats, belong to this variety.
