DESCRIPTION:--A herbaceous sticky plant with radicle leaves. _Leaves_ 16 to 19 cm. long lyrate; the uppermost lobe 7 to 8 cm. long, 2·5 to 5 cm. broad, the margins lobed with broad oblong lobes, with three main veins, distinct above and prominent beneath, cobwebby on both surfaces; lower lobes 1 to 2·5 cm. long; ·7 to 1·3 broad, oblong, obtuse, cobwebby above and beneath; petiole flat above, convex beneath, with three distinct keels, scantily cobwebby; cauline leaves 2 to 9 cm. long, pinnatilobed, eared and somewhat clasping at the base. _Stems_ up to 33 cm. long, terete, ribbed, covered with long glandular hairs. _Heads_ solitary at ends of stems, 8 to 9 cm. in diameter when fully expanded. _Involucral bracts_ in 4 rows; outermost 8 mm. long, acuminate from a broad base, green, covered with long glandular hairs; innermost 1·2 cm. long, glabrous, membranous. _Receptacle_ 1·5 cm. in diameter, honeycombed, the margins of the cells membranous and produced into long awns. _Ray-floret_ female, lemon-chrome, orange at base. _Tube_ 3 mm. long, cylindric; lobe 3·5 cm. long, 7 mm. broad, lanceolate, minutely 3-toothed at the apex, 2-keeled beneath; at throat of tube are four minute black structures representing reduced corolla lobes. _Pappus_ less than ·5 mm. membranous. _Ovary_ 1 mm. long; style 4 mm. long, terete, thickened below the lobes; lobes 1 mm. long, oblong, obtuse. _Disc-florets_ hermaphrodite. _Corolla-tube_ 3 mm. long, 1·25 mm. in diameter above, slightly narrower at the base, sparsely glandular; lobes 1·5 mm. long, linear, obtuse. _Anthers_ black, 2·25 mm. long, blunt at base. _Ovary_ and pappus similar to those of ray-florets; style thin for the first 3 mm., then suddenly much thickened in the upper 2 mm. of its length; lobes ·5 mm. long, oblong, obtuse.

Plant._ vol. i. p. 673. =Lonchostoma monostylis=, _Sond. in Harv. et Sond. Fl. Cap._ vol. ii. p. 317. This member of the family _Bruniaceae_ differs from that previously figured (_Brunia Stokoei_, Plate 92) in having a tubular corolla. In this respect it is also unique in the family. The genus is a small one, comprising only four known species. Ecklon and Zeyher collected this plant in the Palmiet River Valley, and since then it has not been recorded until recently, when Mr. T. P. Stokoe gathered it in the same locality. He sent fresh specimens to the Division of Botany, and from these the plate was made.
