Pl. XiV, FIG. 1. — Coast near Umgeni. Pes-capra3 Association and 

 Coast Bush. The foreground is occupied chiefly by Ipoma;a Pes- 

 caprge (I. biloba) growing up through the drifting sand. The 

 larger fixed sand-dunes behind are covered with Psammophilous 

 bush, of which Mimusops caf fra is the dominant tree. 



Fig. 2. — Durban Bay. Salicornia-Chenolea Association and 

 Mangrove Type. Salicornia herbacea and Chenolea diffusa 

 grow together in clumps on the mud. The tree is Avicennia offi- 

 cinalis, the breathing-roots of which are shown growing up through 

 the Salicornia-Chenolea Association. 



Pl. XV, FIG. 1. — Bush near.Zwartkop. Scattered Midland Type. 

 Tlie foliage is mostly that of Combretum kraiissii. A species of 

 Ipomaea is seen climbing up over it. Between the foreground, which 

 is occupied by veld grasses (Androjjogon species), and the bush is 

 the Marginal Zone, here occupied by the Bracken fern, Pteris 

 aquilina.
