Rauwolfia natalensis, Sond,— Natal, common tree 33-40 ft. " bark 



used as Cinchona " J. ff. Bowker, in herb. Kew. The leaves of 

 this specimen somewhat resemble those of a small Anthocleuta ; 

 it is possible that the former has been mistaken for the latter 

 which is used as Quinine by the Zoutpansberg natives. A 

 specimen from the Zoutpansberg collected by Mr. C. E. Legat 

 (T. D. A. herb. 129) may be this species, but the material is 

 inadequate ; the leaves are longer and broader, and the berries 

 larger, than in any specimen of R. caffra at Kew. The foliage of 

 this specimen simulates that of Adina Galpini, the "um-Thlomu," 

 or " River Matome," for which it is sometimes mistaken. 



ARALIAOEAE. 



Cussonia Gerrardi, Seem. (See Hook. Icon. PL t. 1454; syu. 

 Panax Gerrardi, Harv. Gen. ed. 2, p. 147).— Rehmann, 6485, 

 from the Houtbosch may be this, but the Kew specimen is 

 incomplete. 



Cussonia natalensis, Sond. — My specimens from Potgieter, 

 Waterberg District, and Smits Drift Valley, Zoutpansberg District, 

 agree well with Natal material at Kew. 



Cussonia paniculata, Eckl. & Zeyh.—X specimen collected by 

 Burke at " Rhenosfcerkop near Beaufort," is very like the glaucous- 

 leaved cabbage-wood (species " A" of my list) so common on dry 

 kopjies throughout the Transvaal high veld, but there were no 

 Transvaal specimens at Kew for comparison. 



Cussonia spicata, Thunb. — Near Lydenburg, Wilms, 546. It 



occurs also in Tropical Africa as a u tree 18 ft. high." Perhaps the 

 species " B " of my list. 



Cussonia umbellifera, Sond.— Barberton, GkUpin, 395 4 *tree 20 to 

 40 ft. 1 ' ; Houtboschberg forests, common, called " Ma-Tehayteh," 

 Davy, 5182. 



BURSERACEAE. 



Commiphora africana, (Berg.) Engl. - Kalahari, Sc!nnz y in herb. 

 Zurich. This appears to agree with a specimen collected (in leaf 

 and fruit only) near Potgieter, in the Waterberg District, and 

 sometimes found in the hedges planted round Kaffir kraals in the 

 central Zoutpansberg. The bark flakes off as in Plat anus. 



Commiphora (molle, 2£/^Z.?).— Barberton, dry hillsides. Croeodile- 

 poort, 1,600 ft., Sept. 1890, Galpin, 1077, « fls. small, brown/ 

 This needs comparison with the type at Berlin. 



Commiphora Rehmanni, Engl. — Klippan, Bush-veld, EeJimunn^ 

 *>o2±. 



CAPPARIDACEAE. 



Maerua angolensis, DC. (Oliver in Fl. Trop. Afr. v. 1, p. St]}. 

 Smits Drift Valley, Zoutpansberg, granite outcrops, about 1,200 ft. 

 alt., Jan. 10, 1906, Davy, 5197 ; near Potgieter, Waterberg District, 

 Davy ; Crocodile River Valley, near Barberton, alt. 2,000 ft. 

 Sep. 1890, Galpin, 1066, "tie. white" ; between Delagoa Bay and
