460 FLORA OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
to Europe in 1840, with rich zoological and botanical collec- 
tions, which, considering that they were chiefly made 
in the localities but a few years before examined by 
Drége, Ecklon, and Zeyher, contain no small proportion 
of apparently undescribed species. Part of his plants having 
been sent to us for examination, and as we have been 
enabled to compare them with a rich collection of Drége's 
plants, in the possession of our valued friend, Dr. Mühlen- 
beck, of Mulhouse, Alsatia, and with a considerable number 
of Ecklon's specimens in our own Herbarium, we trust that 
the following catalogue, indicating the localities of, and our 
occasional remarks on, the known species, accompanied by 
diagnoses and descriptions of the new ones, will not be 
devoid of interest, and may be of some use to the botanist, 
who would one day undertake the much desired, and highly 
meritorious task of publishing a general Flora of South 
Africa. For designating the natural regions in which the 
special localities are situated, we have used the same signs 
(III. E, b., V.c., etc.), as E. Meyer, in his Commentaries, 
and Nees, dn his Flora Afr. Austr., where they are explained.

We are much inclined, and M. Pritzel seems to be of the 
same opinion, to consider this plant as a mere variety of the 
preceding, owing, as we may infer from its dwarfish appear- 
ance, to the influence of dry soil, or of a more elevated 
station. Indeed, except in dimensions, we can see nó dif-
