" Little Namaqualand. Bush. 3-5 ft. Mountain slopes south of 

 Tweefontein, 3,100 ft., 3782; 25.12.08." 



" Great Namaqualand. Tree, 20-25 ft. Akam river-bed near 

 standing water, 4726; 17.2.09." "Tree, 20 ft. Dry stream-bed 

 between Dabaigabis and Grim-doom, 3,900 ft., 3121 ; 3.2.09." 



The following specimens, collected by Professor Pearson, cannot 

 be determined with any degree of certainty. They are all without 

 flowers and fruits, and otherwise incomplete. 



Nos. 3006 (aff. Bh. puberulce ?), 5994, 5030 (a tree with very spiny 

 branches and very small petiolated trifoliate leaves. I am afraid the 

 label of this specimen was exchanged for one of the labels of 

 Bh. viminalis or lancca). 



The following may belong to Anacardiacece, but are also too 

 incomplete for determination: Nos. 4149, 4190, 3567, 4143, 6101.
