The collection contains at least one species of especial interest 
(no. 4899, p. 51), for the same plant was gathered by Dr. 
(now Sir John) Kirk at Tete on the Zambesi as long ago as 
1860, and, so far as we are aware, has not been found since. It 
undoubtedly belongs to the Leguminosae and the leaves are very 
similar to those of Schotia transvaalensis, Rolfe. The fruits and 
seeds, however, are quite different. 
Unfortunately, Kirk’s and Legat’s specimens alike consist of 
leaves and fruits only with no flowers, so that it has not been 
possible to fix the position of the plant in the order with any degree 
of certainty. 
On the road from Pietersburg (4350 feet) to Klipdam (3950 feet) 
the following species were observed : Dombeya rotundifolia, Selero- 
carya caffra, Dichrostachys nutans, Acacia horrida, and a species 
of Mundulea. This part of the country is of a level, sandy nature 
and is only lightly wooded. 
In the vicinity of Klipdam, Zizyphus mucronata and Acacia 
hebeclada (in flower) were seen. Frost, sufficient to injure small 
Jacaranda trees, occurred here in July, 1908. 
Between Klipdam and Dwars River (3550 feet) the country is 
more thickly wooded and very flat, but the climate is dry and the 
soil often shallow, so that the scrub never reaches much more than 
20 to 25 feet in height. The following trees were noted : Dovyalis 
sp., Sclerocarya caffra, Dichrostachys nutans, Peltophorum africanum, 
Acacia arabica, A. hebeclada (in flower), A. horrida, and a species of 
Combretum. 
At Dwars River three Acacia trees were found, namely : 
A. glandulifera, A. Rehmanniana, and A. spirocarpoides, the last 
flat-topped and with twisted pods. 
From Dwars river to Bandolier Kop (3850 feet) the character of 
the vegetation is much the same as the last. It here be 
mentioned that the Meteorological Department gives the height of 
Bandolier Kop as 3775 feet, showing that the aneroid used by me 
was, at least, approximately correct. The following trees were 
seen: Dombeya rotundifolia (in flower), Zizyphus mucronata, Selero- 
earya cafra, Peltophorum africanum, Acacia arabica, A. spirocar- 
poides, and an arborescent species of Kuphorbia. 
Between Bandolier Kop and Louis Trichardt (3200 feet) the 
country is flat but the soil is less sandy and the trees are taller ; 
the following species were collected: Elaeodendron sp. (no. 4918), 
Rhus (Heeria) spp. (nos. 4915 and 4917), Ormocarpum sp. (no. 
4916), Schotia brachypetala?* (no. 4920), Acacia robusta 
(no. 4919), Albizzta sp. (no. 4921), Combretum spp. (nos 4914 and 
4922), and Carissa arduina (no. 4913); in addition the following 
were seen but not collected; Dombeya rotundifolia, Sclerocarya 
caffra, Lonchocarpus Capassa, Acacia arabica, A. glandulifera (in 
flower), A. Rehmanniana, and a species of Ficus which was first 
encountered at an elevation of 3200 feet. 
Between Louis Trichardt and the lower edge (4800 feet) 
of the dense forest at Hangklip, Acacia Davyii and A. natalitia 
were collected (compared in Forestry Department Herbarium). :
