The Yellow Wood bush is similar in many respects to the 

 scattered Midland bush, but it covers larger areas. Many of 

 the species are the same, occurring, however, in different pro- 

 portions. It is interesting to note that Celtis kraussiana, 

 Apodytes dimidiata, Xanthoxylon capense, Tod- 

 dalia lanceolata, and Curtisia faginea, are found in 

 the western Cape forests. 



The Yellow Wood bush is found at altitudes of oOOO ft. and 

 upwards ; again, in the places where there is heaviest deposition 

 of rain and mist — on the south-eastern slopes. There are 

 isolated patches of it nearer the coast, e.g. at Albert Park, 

 Durban, and at Umhlatusi. Mr. Sim informs me that the 

 same distribution obtains in Pondoland, namely at high 

 altitudes and in isolated patches near the coast.
