Coast Reaion: Clanwilliam Div.; Ezels Bank, on the Cederbergen, 3000- 
4000 ft., Drege! Tulbagh Div.; on the Skurfde Berg, Cape Herb. ! Caledon 
Div. ; by the River Zonder Einde, Zeyher, 3572! 
This species was wrongly identified by E. Meyer with S. heterophylla, Thunb., 
but as the latter is a young seedling of S. spwria, Linn., the name heterophylla 
may be retained for the present one.
