Aristolochia athiopica Welw. = A. albida Duchartre ; DC. Prodr. 



XV. i. 483; Welw. Herb. 511, 512; Coll. Carp. 936; it was so 



identified by Welwitsch himself in liis Herb., and is now so 



placed in the British Museum Herbarium. 

 Albuca angolensis Welw. Apont. 591, no. 107; Coll. Carp. 1035, 



nee Baker in Ref. Bot. t. 3B6, nee in Trans. Linn. Soc. scr. 2, 



i. 251, uec in Welw. Herb. 3836. 

 Cyathea (clhiapica Welw. Apont. 587, no. 42 = C. angolensis Welw. 



Apont. 538; Herb. 83, 186; Hook. Syn. Fil. 22. 



The following corrections in numbers cited should be made : — 

 p. 72, Cleome oleracea, for "Herb. 9586," read "958b"; p. 73, 

 Locellaria hauhinioides, for "Herb. 546," read "546 6ts"; p. 74, 

 Cucumis chrijsocarpa, for " Herb. 647," read "847"; p. 75, Maranta 

 discolor, after "Herb.," supply "6440." The date of Murray's 

 Journal of Travel is by a slip printed (under Eleudne textilis, p. 76) 

 1858, instead of 1868. The reference "Apont. 558" under Myris- 

 tica angolensis (p. 75) should be omitted. The number of Welw. 

 Herb, given on p. 91, line 12 from top, for Habenaria huillensis 

 should be 724, not 714.

B. Caules erecti vel suberecti plus minusve virgati. Radices 

 nunc simplices et tenues nunc incrassati et lignosi sed sine tuberibus 

 napiformibus vel fusiformibus pro mea cognitione. Folia trifoliolata 

 rarissime simplicia. Inflorescentia racemosa. Flores parvi vel 

 parviusculi.

Var. (3. Gueinzii Harv. E. Gueindl Sonder in Linncea, xxiii. 34. 



Hab. Natal, Gucinzius, Nos. 27 & 634. Pretoria, Eehmann, 

 No. 4610, and Transvaal, No. 4171, are perhaps also referable to 

 this variety. 



A plant gathered at Inanda by J. M. Wood in 1881 differs from 

 the one quoted above in having a singularly lax raceme. 



E. cordatum has a thick, woody root, and either solitary, ovate, 

 cordate leaves, or elliptic-ovate pinnately trifoliolate leaflets. 



In the variety /3. Gueinzii the leaves are all trifoliolate ; the 

 leaflets elliptic-oblong, acute ; and the flowers more laxly racemose.
