The second contribution to be noticed is that by Pax in Bull. 
Herb. Boiss. vol. vi. pp. 733,734, published in 1898. Here four forms 
are referred to, all of them as new. As a matter of fact, however, 
every one of them had already been accounted for They are :— 
A. glabrata, var. ee So l.c. 733 = pilosior O. Kuntze (1893) ; 
A. Rehmanni, Par lec. 733 = A. senensis, Klotzsch (1862); 
A. Schinzii, Par 1c. 734 = Ricinocarpus depressinervius, O. Kuntze, 
(1893); A. Schinzii, var. denticulata, Paz l.c. 734 = A. angustata, 
Sond. (1850). The only other contribution to be noted is that by 
im in The Forests and Forest Flora of Cape Colony, published in 
1907 where (p. 318)a really stalligibbad account of A. glabrata, Thunb. 
is given. 
The number of species known from South Africa is now twenty. 
In the list of these which follows we have in each case given a 
detailed account . the distribution in South Africa of the species 
concerned and in those cases where a species has not already 
been dealt with by. one of us in the Flora of Tropical Africa its 
synonymy is given in full. Of the twenty species here recognised 
_ the last nine, all of which have subsessile leaves, would probably 
have been included by Miiller in A. peduncularis ; as a matter of 
fact all of them save A, entumenica, Prain, and A. Wilmsii, Pax, here 
for the first time described, were so included by Miiller. The nine 
species with subsessile leaves here recognised are, however, as easily 
capone ae and as distinct as the eleven which have petioled 
eaves.
