The second edition of the Hortus Kewensis (1813) is a résumé of 
previous work which overlooks the emendation of Poiret, accepts 
the erroneous conception of C. polygonoides first introduce 
Willde and adds to our knowledge of the genus only some 
Andere eel with those species introduced to English gardens. 
After the appearance of the account in the Hortus Kewensis 
(ed. 2, v. 422) there was little reference for a generation to these 
South African species of Cluytia, In 1843 E. Meyer (Zwei Pf. 
Documente, 174) issued a list of determinations of specimens col-

Professor Pax, the most recent monographer of the genus whose 
work has been of the greatest assistance in dealing with the South 
African species, may be readily followed with the assistance of the 
synonymy cited in the subjoined systematic synopsis 
Included in this synopsis are descriptions of those species for 
which a description is still required ; preceding it is printed a key 
to the whole of these South African forms.
