I am under great obligations to many friends for advice and assistance 

 in preparing this record of Rhodesian plants, and wish particularly to 

 acknowledge the following : — 



Dr. Rendle and Staff of British Museum for identifying most of my 

 collections. 



The late Professor P. MacOwan, of Cape Town, for advice and identifica- 

 tions. 



The late Dr. Harry Bolus, of Cape Town, for valuable suggestions, and 

 for continuous and unwearied help in identifying plants and fur- 

 nishing me with lists of Rhodesian collections made by other 

 botanists. 



Mr. T. R. Sim, for identifying ferns, etc. 



Dr. Marloth, for help in identification and general encouragement. 



Archdeacon Rogers, for adding a number of localities as well as of 

 species to the present list. These additions, interpolated through 

 the kindness of Dr. E. P. Phillips, of the Botanical Department of 

 the South African Museum, are marked in the list with an 

 asterisk. Dr. Phillips has besides looked through the proofs. 



Mr. Swynnerton, for the trouble he took to annotate and correct for my 

 benefit the 240 pages descriptive of his Gazaland collections in the 

 Linnean Journal of October, 1911. 



Dr. Rand, Miss Gibbs, Mrs. Craster, and Messrs. Allen, Monro, Jeffreys, 

 Chubb, and Father Gardner for sending me lists of their collections. 



Mr. J. Burtt-Davy for help and advice. 



Also Messrs. Mundy & Walters, Botanists to the Rhodesian Government, 

 have lent me willing aid and placed their herbarium at my disposal. 



I am aware of many deficiencies in this Record, but venture to think 

 it should be published without further delay in the belief that it will be 

 useful to beginners, and in the hope that other workers in this field will 

 point out its chief faults, contribute additions, and make suggestions for 

 the improvement of any later edition if called for.
