This was at first supposed to be the type of a new genus allied to Capraria, 
but Т now think there can be no doubt as to its place being in Freylinia, as 
Miss Kensit suggested to me. The reason for my former view was that 
F. tropica certainly has the æstivation of Digitalee, not of Cheloner, and I 
naturally accepted the statement that the estivation of Freylinia is that of 
Chelonee. However, examination has led me todoubt the accuracy of that 
statement, and it seems to me that the proper place for Freylinia is in 
Digitalew near Capraria, though the point, it must be admitted, is difficult to 
decide from dried material alone. 
As the trivial name implies, this South African genus has not hitherto 
been recorded as tropical. |
