Souty Arrica. Transvaal: Groenkloof, Pretoria, Sept. 1920, 
van Dam in Transv. Mus. Herb. 12,003 (vide Mrs. Pott in Ann. 
Transv. Mus. vi. pt. 4, pp. 119-135); Waterberg Dist., on the 
farm “‘ Twenty-four Rivers, ” Nov. 1919, a garden weed, Burtt- 
Davy, 18,209. 
This is a Cape Province Composite of recent introduction 
into the Transvaal, Mrs. Pott’s being the first record of its 
occurrence. Twenty-four Rivers is an isolated cattle ranch some 
40 miles or more N.N.W. of the railway at Nylstroom, away 
from any main road, and about 80 miles north of Pretoria. Not 
a single specimen of the plant was seen on the 40 miles of road 
from Nylstroom, which runs through a thinly populated area 
with but little cultivation. The early appearance of this weed 
so far from Mrs. Pott’s locality suggests a tendency to spread 
rapidly. The seeds may have been carried with plants from 
some nursery, or by cattle—there has been a large influx o 
cattle into the Waterberg district in the last two or three years. 
The achenes are readily wind-distributed, and the plant may 
become as troublesome a weed as Hrigeron linifolius now is.

SoutH Arrica. Transvaal: Bloemhof Dist., farm ‘‘ Kaff- 
ree ” near Christiana, Mch. 1912, gregarious, forming a colony 
 brak ” (i.e. saline) soil, Burtt- -Davy 12,800 in herb. Bolus. 
One of the plants called “‘Ganna-bosch.” An interesting 
extension of known range. This appears to be a rare plant in 
South Africa, or rarely collected, only one specimen being cited 
in the Flora Capensis (Bolus 596, from Graaf Reinet); my 
specimens were but a few inches high, instead of ‘‘ 1-4 ft.” as 
described for the species, and lacked the foetid, fishy smell 
mentioned by Dr. Bolus on his label. I am indebted to 
Mrs. Frank Bolus for the determination. Outside S. Africa it is 
found in Tropical and North Africa, Western Asia, and India.
