2. Chironia erythreeodes, Hiern. To this species should probably 
be referred the specimen quoted under C. rosacea, Gilg, by Schoch in 
Bot. Centralbl., Beihefte, xiv. 229, as from “ Huilla, Welwitsch, 1528.” 
No mention is made of the number 1528 among the Gentianew by 
Hiern in Cat. Afr. Pl. Welw. and probably it is an error for 1520. 
C. rosacea Gilg is a native of Pondoland.
