Of the Rosacez, I noticed a Pygeum near Bowela, in a 
valley, but procured no examples for identification. On the

escape from higher altitudes. 
Bryophyllum calycinum, as representing the Crassulacez, is 
probably an introduction. It infests places where the soil 
is not deep, as, for example, near slab rocks, but generally in 
these cases near habitations or places once inhabited.
