 near Bremersdorp, alt. 2,700 ft. Davy, 3024. A solitary tree with 

 deep yellow flowers resembling those of A. horrida, but entirely 

 without fragrance, Jan. 4, 1906 ; bark light-brown and papery, 

 Davy, 5132 (T. D. A. herb. 1211). This species is nearest to 

 A. natalities but differs in several points* 



Bauhinia reticulata, DC. — My Zoutpansberg specimens match 

 well with tropical African material. It is common as a shrub or 

 small tree near Tzaneen and Thabina at 2,000 to 2,500 ft. alt. 



Cassia abbreviata, Oliv. " Mulumanyama." — Spelonken, Zout-

Cassia delagoensis, Raw.— Barber ton, 2,800 ft., "shrub 3 to 6 ft., 

 fls. orange yellow," Galpin,S7S ; Cave Mts., Rhenosterpoort, Groot 

 Spelonken, Nelson, 415 ; near Nelspruit, Davy. 



Lonchocarpus capassa, Rolfe (in Oates " Matabeleland " ed. 2, 

 p. 397).— The type was collected by Oates in Matabeleland. Our 

 Transvaal specimens (Barberton, Galpin ; Modjajies Mt., Zout- 

 pansberg, Davy, 5215) appear to agree with typical material, but 

 either the species is very variable, or there is a good deal of some- 

 thing else mixed with it at Kew. The following specimens are so 

 labelled :— Huilla, Angola ; Shire Highlands ; Lake Ngami 

 (" tree 15 to 20 ft. high— trunk 6 or 7 ft. in circumference— with 

 pink flowers. Grows on the Tamulekan River, McCabe); 

 Zambesi (" small tree ") ; Victoria Falls, " Moogorrowa," straight 

 growing, pyramidal shape, on the banks of the river, Allen, 47. 

 The flowers are variously described by collectors as pink, mauve, 

 purple, or with light blue claw and light orange limb t
