vi PREFACE. 
The history of the inception and completion of the Flora Capensis, 
which deals with the flowering plants proper—A ngiosperme—was 
published by Sir William Thiselton-Dyer in the Kew Bulletin, 1925, 
pp. 289-293, and his valedictory preface will be found in Vol. 7 
Sect. 2, Part IV, of the Flora Capensis, written on 23rd September, 
1924. 
For the loan of herbarium material from South Africa we are 
much indebted to Dr. I. B. Pole Evans, C.M.G., Director of the 
Botanical Survey, to the Forestry’ Department in South Africa, 
and to the Directors of the Cape Town and Albany Museums.
