they refer to Natal plants only, and not necessarily to any not included 

 in this List, also that they are quite arbitrary, and in many cases have 

 little or no real botanical significance. 



The Capital letters following the names of the species indicate 

 roughly the altitude at which the plants have been found, in the largest 

 number of cases by ourselves, in others the information has been 

 olitained either from collectors other than ourselves, or from the works 

 in which the plants have been described, but in some cases this 

 information has not been obtainable. It must not be si\pposed that 

 the plant is confined to the altitude given, but only, that it has been 

 collected in the region indicated The significance of the letters is as 

 ' under : 



A, to 1000 feet alt. ; B, 1000 to 2000 feet alt. ; C, 2000 to 8000 

 feet alt. ; D, 3000 to 4000 feet alt. ; E, 4000 to 5500 feet alt. ; F, over 

 5500 feet alt. 



As the distribution of the Ferns is better known than that of the 

 flowering plants, and collectors and admirers of them are more numerous, 

 the localities are given with more precision, and the keys to the species 

 are also given, these being taken with little alteration from a small 

 pamphlet published by the writer in 1877, and which is now out of 

 print. 



The numbers prefixed to the Orders are the numbers under which 

 they stand in the Genera Plantarum, the numbers wanting in our list,
