Has. Near Port Natal, W. 7. Gerrard / Shiré river, Dr. Kirk. (Herb. Hk. D.) 
A shrub, 6 feet high and more. Stems thick, with whitish, tuberculated bark. 
Leaves 3-4 inches long, 14-24 inches wide, gradually or suddenly acuminated, 
finely and bluntly toothed, acute or obtuse, in our specimens rounded at base. 
Spines 4-1} inch long. Flowers white, 2 inches across, resembling wild roses. 
Anthers tipped by a fleshy point, sometimes obsolete. Fruit ‘ gourd-like, one- 
celled, with a solid shell, internally pulpy and many-seeded ; Well known to the 
Natal and Zulu Kaffirs, who wear it hung round the neck, and use it as a snuff- 
box, calling it ““Thunga!” Dr. Kirk’s specimens from the Shiré (in Hb. Hook.) 
are precisely similar to Mr. Gerrard’s. Those of O. monacantha, from the N iger 
and Sierra Leone (Hb. Hook.), have rather more coriaceous leaves, less evidently 
denticulate, and more acute, or even tapering at base, with more evident points to 
the anthers ; the petals are 10. 
_ 8, 0, Tettensis (Hook. f.) ; twigs, petioles, foliage, peduncles, and 
calyx densely pubescent, with short, stiff, spreading hairs ; leaves short- 
petioled, rounded at base, oblong, obovate, obtuse, penni-nerved and 
netted-veined, with slightly reflexed, very entire margins ; peduncles 
lateral and terminal, 1-flowered; petals 10-12 ; ovary and young fruit 
densely tomentose and deeply furrowed ; old fruit glabrous and angular, 
cuspidate. Chlanis Tettensis, and Ch. macrophylla, Klotsch. in Peters’

Has. Delagoa bay, Forbes / Tette, Dr. Kirk! (Herb. Hook. D.) 
"_ Readily known by its dense and rigid, though short, somewhat rusty pubescence. 
Forbes’ specimens haye rather smaller leaves and shorter petioles than those from 
Dr. Kirk, which were collected in the same locality as those described by Klotsch. 
_ Page 68,—The genus “ Phoberos,” Lour., is the same as Scolopia 
Schreb, which name is to be substituted. The following new spaiiee 
is to be added :— 
4. S, Gerrardi (Harv.); armed with spreading spines; leaves broad- 
ly-rthomboid, not tapering at base, obtuse, entire or subrepand ; ra-— 
cemes and calyces glabrous; sepals obtuse. 
Has. Nototi river, Natal, W. 7. Gerrard / erb, T.C.D. 
A shrub, 10-12 feet high, with With ales t bark, coma wiih axillary spines, 
2 or more inches in length. Leaves 3-4 inches long, 2-24 inches wide. It differs 
from 8. Ecklonii in the much broader and more rhomboid leaves and the axillary 
spines ; and from S. Zeyheri in the perfectly glabrous inflorescence, &c. 
Page 70, alter the generic char. of Aberia as follows :— 
“Ovary sessile, on a lobed, fleshy dise, imperfectly 2—-6-celled or 1- 
celled ; placentae prominent, 2-6, each with 2-6 ovules ; styles 2-6, 
divergent ; stigmas expanded or bifid.” 
Add the following new species :— 
3. A. Caffra (Hk. f. & Harv.) ; arborescent, thorny, glabrous; leaves 
membranaceous, obovate, obtuse, cuneate at base, 3-nerved and veiny, 
quite entire, with slightly revolute margins, concolourous ; female 
flowers solitary, on axillary peduncles about twice as long as the leaf-
