2. Chironia erjrthrcBodes, Hiern. To this species should probably 

 be referred the specimen quoted under C. rosacea, Cilg, by Schoch in 

 Bot. Centralbl., Beihefte, xiv. 229, as from " Huilla, Welwitsch, 1528." 

 No mention is made of the number 1528 among the Gentianece by 

 Hiern in Cat. Afr. PI. Welw. and probably it is an error, for 1525. 

 €. rosacea Gilg is a native of Pondoland.
