In conclusion I wish to offer my sincere thanks to the author and 

 editors of the Flora Capensis ; without the assistance obtained from that 

 work the present attempt coiJd hardl}^ have been made, also to Prof. 

 H. H. W. Pearson, M.A., F.L.S., who so kindly looked over all our 

 specimens of Thymeliacea?, and supplied us with the names as far as it 

 was possible to do so at present; to Dr. Harry Bolus, F.L.S., of Capetown 

 who has supplied us with the names of a number of plants which were 

 not in our collection, or known to us as natives of Natal, and with 

 other information which has been of much use to us ; and also to Mr. 

 M. S. Evans, C.M.G., M.L.A., who has kindly allowed us the use of the 

 lists received from Kew of the names of the plants of his own collection, 

 and has contributed some of them to the Colonial Herbarium ; to the 

 whole of these gentlemen I am much indebted for the assistance so 

 freely given. 



J. MEDLEY WOOD.
