172 BOTANICAL INFORMATION, 
to visit the districts of Nitenhage, Albania, and part of Caffer- 
land, where he found many beautiful plants, particularly 
on the Winterhocksberg. This may be considered the 
limit, properly speaking, of the Cape Flora; on the other 
side a new vegetation prevailing, which may be called 
the Cafferland Flora. Again, in the woods of Krakakamma 
and Adow, other forms appear, and others still upon the 
Choumiberg in Cafferland. Among the most remarkable 
plants in these countries may be reckoned the IJcthyosma 
Wehdemanni, the new Testudinaria sylvatica and severa] 
species of Zamia before unknown. On his return to the 
Cape, and in company with Zeyher, he proceeded to and 
ascended the Tulbagh mountain, (6,000 feet in elevation.) 
where were found peculiar alpine forms of the Cape genera, 
especially of the Proteacee and Orchidee. Then commence 
their great and most important journey into the interior, 
which occupied them two years. From Cape Town they took 
the route of the Palun river, Caledon, Cape Agulhas, and 
Zwellendam, through the Kochman’s Kloof to the Karro, 
remained for a time at Gaurit’s river, to collect the plants 
peculiar to the Karro district, and visited the chain of Zwartz- 
berg in the district of Graaf-Reynet: thence to Houtnig- 
ualand and the beautiful woods of the Knysna,* George's 
and Plettenberg's Bay, whence they proceeded through Lange 
Kloof to Nitenhage and Algoa Bay, in order to ship off 
their hitherto collected stores to Cape Town. This accom- 
plished, our travellers journeyed over the most interesting dis- 
tricts of Albania and Somerset, and onward by the Great Fish 
river, to Konab, Cat river, and to the present Amakosee or 
Cafferland. In the mountains of this country they had the 
gratification of finding several European genera, viz., Geum, 
Agrimonia, Pulsatilla, &c., which they had never met with 
* Where it will be recollected Mr. Bowie found the beautiful Didy- 
mocarpus Rhexii (Hooker's Exotic Flora, t, 227), now one of the greatest 
ornaments of our stoves.
