CAPE ALG^. 197 



Icowiensis Schm. MS., and as through the kindness of Mr. Holmes 

 I have been enabled to see the type specimen of Microccelia kaly- 

 menioides and compare it with the plant of Hymcnocladia in the 

 British Museum on which Prof. Schmitz founded his opinion, I am 

 compelled to differ from Mr. Holmes in his decision. It is possible 

 that further material may enable me to agree in the distinctness of 

 the two plants.
