LIST OF SPECIES. 



Angiosperm-e. 

 Dicotyledons 



POLYPETAL.li. 



Ranunculace.e. 



Anemone capeiisis, Thunb. 



Mountain ridges^behind Kriel's Farm, and above the village, 

 2,000-3,000 ft. 

 Knozultonia rig'ida, Salisb. 



Ravine near water on mountains near the River Zonder 

 Einde, 2,000 ft. 

 A', gracilis, D.C. 



Deep kloof above the River Zonder Einde, 1,200 ft. Flowers 

 white ; lowermost sepals tinged with red. 

 Ranunculus pinnatus, Poir. 



In damp ground among grass below the Waterfall, near the 

 village, 1,500 ft. Flowers yellow. 



Crucifer/i-:. 



Heliophila coronopifolia, Linn. 



Growing on burnt patches among rocks on kopjes beyond 

 the village, 1,300 ft. Flowers white. 



The above specimen seems to be an intermediate form 

 between H. coronopifolia, Linn, and H. dentifera, Sond. The 

 pubescent branches connect it with the former species ; the white 

 flowers and toothed stamens show an affinity with the latter 

 species. In my opinion, after examining types of the two species, 

 H . dentifera, Sond. should be sunk into the above.

 or red ; crests white.
