The species is found near Eendekuil in the Clanwilliam Division, and the original description was prepared from specimens flowering in the garden of Mrs. F. Metelerkamp. We are indebted to the Curator of the Bolus Herbarium for lending us the illustration from which the accompanying plate was prepared. DESCRIPTION:--A glabrous herb, 16-25 cm. high. _Corm_ 1·6 cm. long, 1·2 cm. in diameter, ovoid, with rigid tunics prominently nerved and with the nerves reticulated. _Stem_ erect. _Leaves_ 6-7 to each stem, 5-8 cm. long, 1-1·2 cm. broad, equitant, adscending, linear, obtuse, apiculate or acute, with inconspicuous nerves. _Inflorescence_ racemose, laxly 9-12-flowered, with the flowers almost erect. _Bracts_ clasping, about 2 cm. long, ovate; bracteoles united beyond the middle, setaceous-acuminate, almost equalling the bracts. _Perianth-tube_ 4-4·5 cm. long, 1-2 mm. in diameter, oblique and expanding to 7 mm. in diameter above; segments unequal; the lower smaller than the upper; the outer segments 1·2 cm. long, 4-6 mm. broad, ovate-oblong, subacute; the inner segments subclawed, obtuse, and with obscurely undulate margins; the uppermost 1·4 cm. long, 8 mm. broad, ovate; the lower 5 mm. broad. _Filaments_ 1·2 cm. long; anthers 3-5 mm. long, with purple pollen. _Style_ 4·6 cm. long with spathulate branches 3 mm. long. _Capsule_ 1·5 cm. long. _Seeds_ many, 2 mm. in diameter, subglobose (Bolus Herb. Cape Town 16039). * * * * * PLATE 97.--Fig. 1, flower laid open; Fig. 2, capsule; Fig. 3, seed × 4; Fig. 4, corm. F.P.S.A., 1923. [Illustration: 98. S. Gower del.] PLATE 98. CHRYSOPHYLLUM MAGALISMONTANUM. _Transvaal._ SAPOTACEAE. CHRYSOPHYLLUM, _Linn._; _Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Plant._ vol. ii. p. 653. =Chrysophyllum magalismontanum=, _Sond. in Linnaea_, vol. xxiii. p. 72; _Fl. Cap._ vol. iv. sect. 1, p. 437. The genus _Chrysophyllum_ is a small genus in South Africa, having only three representatives, two in Natal and one in the Transvaal. The species figured here is the common one in the Transvaal, being found all along the rocky outcrops of the Magaliesberg range and known as “stam vrucht,” because the fruits are borne on the old stems. The fruits, which are oval in shape, are somewhat larger than a cherry, and are used to make preserve. The plants flower in October and ripe fruits are formed in January. A milky juice characteristic of all the species in the _Sapotaceae_ is present in the plant. A member of the order, _Mimusops balata_, Crueg, native of Guiana, yields a guttapercha (balata). The specimens from which our illustration was made were gathered at Eloff’s Cutting near Pretoria by Mr. D. J. Fouche.
