Acacia spirocarpoides, Engl. (No. 127, species 'F.' of my list).™

 in herb. Zurich. This annears to he the

Springbok Flats, Waterberg District (3,500 ft, alt.) with umbrella- 

 like crown and much-twisted pods ; Marico District, Rustenburg 

 road between Zeerust and Leo's store, " a small bush," not common, 

 Davy, 118. A tree with similar habit occurs at Louw's Creek, 

 near Barberton (about 1,100 ft. alt.), Davy; Crocodile River 

 drift, between Komatie River and Barberton, Bolus, 7754. The 

 north African A. spirocarpa, Hochst., to which I tentatively 

 referred our tree, does not appear to occur so far south. The tree 

 reported by Marloth from the Kalahari under the name A. tortilis, 

 is probably A. spirocarpoides; it is doubtful whether the North 

 African A. tortilis reaches South Africa. 



Acacia stolonifera, BurcK— This appears to be a valid species; 

 though near to A. hebeclada the habit is quite different, Not 

 uncommon between Klerksdorp and our western border, but there 

 are no Transvaal specimens at Kew. Kalahari 1891, Dr. Fleck, 

 410a, m herb. Zurich. 



Acacia uncinata, -^.—Boschveld, inter Elands River, and 

 Klippan, Rehmann, 5024, in herb. Zurich. Related to A. robusta, 

 pods smaller, peduncles long. Also in Hereroland. I collected 

 a specimen at Bulawayo, S. Rhodesia, which may belong here.
