APPENDIX I. 



LIST OF TREES INDIGENOUS TO NATAL. 



In this enumeration, I have followed, for the sequence of the orders and genera, 

 ihe 'Genera Plantarum' of Bentham and Hooker, and retained for the orders their numbers 

 in that work. 



A catalogue of this kind can only be rendered tolerably complete gradually 

 during a period of years, and the present collection of notes taken during the last few- 

 months is necessarily wanting in many respects, but it is given in order to provide some 

 source of information about the Natal woods. 



The forests were visited by me during last autumn and winter, when very few flowering 

 specimens could be collected for determination. In the Drakensberg forests, many trees 

 were identified from a previous knowledge of the species. In other cases, the determina- 

 tions were made by comparison with specimens in the Government Herbarium at Durban, 

 and I should like to record my indebtedness to Mr. J. M. Wood, A.L.S., Curator of the 

 Durban Botanic Gardens, for allowing me unrestricted access to the Government Herb- 

 arium, and giving me the full benefit of his unrivalled knowledge of the Natal flora. 



( Some of the genera of Natal plants have not been worked out in a full manner by 

 botanists ; and most of the species of Acacia, Celtis, Ficus, and Cryptocarya could not 

 be determined. 



With the exception of two well-known woods that were not identified, all doubtful 

 or undetermined species have been uniformly excluded.
