ABSTRACT

Drosophyllum lusitanicum has been found only in Portugal and in Morocco. The leaves arise from an almost woody axis; they are linear, much attenuated towards their tips, and several inches in length. Roridula dentata has an almost woody stem and branches, and apparently grows to a height of some feet. The leaves of Roridula dentata are linear, with their summits much attenuated. Byblis gigantea has a strong stem. The leaves of Byblis gigantea are some inches in length, linear, slightly flattened, with a small projecting rib on the lower surface. The glands are purplish, much flattened, and formed of a single layer of radiating cells, which in the larger glands are from forty to fifty in numbers. The leaves of Pelargonium zonale are clothed with numerous multicellular hairs; some simply pointed; others bearing glandular heads, and differing much in length.
