this, but does not match the type well. A specimen from the 

 Woodbush collected by D. E. Hutchins may also belong here ; the 

 receptacles appear to be the same, but dissections are needed ; the 

 leaves are not quite like the type. There are no specimens at 

 Kew which exactly match the type. 



Ficus capensis, Thunb.—l have not seen Thunberg's type, but 



the Kew specimens from the type region (coast districts of Cape 

 Colony and Natal) have much narrower leaves than our Transvaal 



specimens.

var. transvaalensis, on sheets in the Zurich herbarium, but this 

 name does not appear to have been published, and until we know 

 what the type is like it is not certain that it is tenable. As at

 some forms extending into North Africa. Our Transvaal variety 

 is common along streams of the eastern middle veld ; Lydenburg,
