The Uitenhage plants submitted to me for examination by the 

 Geological Commission of Cape Colony were collected from rocks 

 exposed in the valleys of the Bezuidenhout, Witte, Sunday, and 

 Zwartkop Elvers in the Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth districts in 

 the south-east of Cape Colony ; and from the neighbourhood of 

 Herbertsdale, Mossel Bay ; and Heidelberg.
