EXTRACTS FROM THE EDITOR’S PREFACE. 
Ir is proposed to issue this publication as an illustrated serial, much on 
the same lines as the well-known Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, and for 
imitating which no apology need be tendered. 
Should the publication be the means of stimulating further. interest 
in the study and cultivation of our indigenous plants amongst the rising 
generation, the desire and object of its promoters will be achieved. 
Living plants suitable for illustration, plants of economic value, or 
plants of general interest, will always be gladly received and welcomed 
by the Editor. 
The illustrations are from drawings by Miss K. A. Lansdell, while 
the descriptions have been prepared by Dr. E. Percy Phillips, Botanist 
in charge of the National Herbarium. 
_ The illustration on our cover represents a glimpse of the magnificent 
Union Buildings at Pretoria, under whose shadow this work is being 
prepared, and on whose site the plants here figured are grown. 
It has been the Editor’s privilege and good fortune to see a com- 
paratively bare kopje converted in the course of a few years into the site 
of a grand and stately building surrounded with many of the country’s 
most beautiful and interesting herbs and shrubs. 
For the contents of the first two numbers, see over. 
The work will be issued every three months, commencing on 
November Ist, 1920, each part containing ten coloured plates, price 15s., 
annual subscription 60s. (postage 2s.).
