Ecklon’s specimen, the type of S. incisa, Benth., is from the Wodehouse 
Division, if the number 112 on the sheet is the locality number (see Linnwxa, xix. 
584-598, and xx. 258). 
Cooper’s 2886 is labelled ‘‘ Natal,” apparently an error for Albert Division, 
where his other specimen of the plant was collected. 
S. natalensis, Briq. & Schinz in Bull. Herb. Boiss, 2" sér. iii. 1078 (Harrismith, 
Orange River Colony, Wood, 4972, and near the Kei River, Komgha Division, 
Coast Region, Schlechter, 6232) is, judging from the first mentioned specimen 
which we have seen through the kindness of Mr. J. Medley Wood, so much like 
one of the two specimens on the type sheet of S. subsessilis, Benth., referred in 
this work to 8. repens; that we are unable to find any distinguishing characters 
for it.
