spent upon them. I am afraid, however, that we will have to wait 

 until a properly equipped Botanical Garden is established in South 

 Africa, before problems of this nature can be thoroughly taken in 

 hand out here. 



The first number preceding each species, mentioned in 

 Vol. VI of the Flora Capensis, is again the number it bears 

 in that publication. For the sake of convenient reference a 

 second number, in brackets, is again added to indicate the page on 

 which it was described in the Flora Capensis. 



4 (306). A. micracantha, Haw. — Grows sparingly in marshy 

 places near Grahamstown (Featherstone's Kloof, Howison's Poort, 

 Brookhuizen's Poort) fide B. South. — Mr. J. Burtt-Davy, F.L.S. 

 Govei-nment Botanist, Pretoria, sent portions of an Aloe (including 

 withered flowers) which grows in similar situations in Swazieland 

 and which is undoubtedly a somewhat more luxuriant form of 

 this species. 



7 (306). A. nristcda, Haw. — Zeyher, No. J:LS6, quoted by 

 Baker in Flora Cap. without locality comes from " rocky places on 

 the Stormbergen — c. — 6tli altitude.— Nov." 



8 (307). A. Boylei, Bak.— Tyson, No. 1428, " in pratis grami- 

 nosis pr. Kokstad, Griqualand orientalis, alt. 5000 feet, Feb. 1885," 

 belongs to this species. 



9 (307). A. hniniUs, Mill.— Ecklon and Zeyher^s, No. 24, is 

 marked on the original label (by Burke ?) in Herb. Alb. Mus. 

 Aloe aciuniaata, Haw. (stonj^ heights near Bethelsdorp, 2. altitude, 

 Jan. 30). It is in rather poor condition, l)ut cannot i)ossibly be 

 referred to A. hiiinih's, Mill. It is quite uiilike Bot. Mag. t. 757, 

 and as this illustration is cited by Haworth under his acuminata 

 (Haworth, Synopsis Plant. Succ, London, 1812, p. 84), I strongly 

 suspect that E, & Z.'s No. 24 represents an undescribed species, but 

 I cannot venture to describe it fi'om the material at my disposal. 

 Another plant (No. 27, with a label in Pappe's (r) handwriting, 

 from carroid hills between Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth, 

 probably also collected by Burke) is a variety of A. humilis, Mill. 



10 (308). A. pratcnsis, Bak.— There is now an original speci- 

 men of MacOwan, No. 1896 from the Boschberg, in the Herb. Alb.
