Woodiana 



A Natal 



species, not taken up in the Flora Gapensis and of which I have seen 

 neither specimens nor description. There is at Kew a very large- 

 leaved species from the Boschberg, Somerset Division, Cape 

 Colony (Burchell, 3221), also found in the George and Knysna 

 Divisions, which reminds me of a common tree of the Houtbosch- 

 berg forests. We need flowering specimens for determination.

Schrebera Saundersiae, Bar v. (syn. S. latialata, Gilg. in Engl. 

 Bot. Jahrb. xxx. 1900, p. 73.)— Houtbosch, Rehmann, 5950, so 

 named but may possibly be S. argyrotricha ; better material is 

 needed. 8. alata, Welw., of Angola, appears to be quite different,

Pro tea abyssinica, Willd. — I had not time to make any study of
