GENERAL NOTES. 



The Floicering Plants of South Africa. 



We note with pleasure the preliminary announcement 

 of Vol. I. No. 1 of "The Flowering Plants of South 

 Africa" which will be published in November of this 

 year. 



This work edited by Dr. I. B. Pole Evans, Chief, 

 Division of Botany, Pretoria, and Director of the 

 Botanical Survey of the Union of South Africa marks 

 a new departure in botanical science in this country, in 

 as much as further interest in the study and cultivation 

 of our indigenous plants will be stimulated by making 

 the unique South African flora better known by a series 

 of coloured illustrations accompanied by descriptions. 

 While not an official publication of the Division of 

 Botany, the illustrations and descriptions are the work 

 of members of the staff, and at present the sole credit for 

 its production belongs to the Division. The funds 

 necessary for the appearance of a publication of this 

 nature were donated by private individuals. We 

 sincerely hope that the public will sufficiently appreciate 

 the work by becoming subscribers and so making the 

 publication of future Volumes possible. 



The work will be issued every three months, commenc- 

 ing on November 1st. 1920, each part containing ten 

 coloured plates, price los. annual subscription 60s. 

 (postage 2s.).
