MR. EYLES’S RHODESIAN PLANTS. 
HE Department of Botany has recently received a small but 
resting series of flowering plants, part of a collection made in 
Boating Rhodesia, sent by “Mr. Fred Eyles. Most of the plants - 
come from the Matopo Hills; but some were collected at the Vic- 
toria Falls, on the Zambesi, and others near Buluwayo and in the 
country between Buluwayo and the Falls. Mr. Eyles hopes to be 
able in time to work the country more thoroughly. Descriptions 
of the novelties are appended, and also notes on some previously 
own spécies which are more or less of Biter cat, As might be ex- 
from its geographical cal position in Southern Tropical Africa 
the flora of the district has affinities with those of both os and 
West Tropical Afri of 
Mo | Falls, and 
which was previously known from Bongo-land, in North Central 
ropical Africa, and from Pungo Andongo, in Angola. _ Several of 
I. uch are 
Burmannia bicolor var. africana, Ottelia te aie a Vellozia, and 
Eriocaulon submersum. The relationship to the 
district of eon is very striking. Other species, such as Erla 
lava and Habenaria malacophylla, connect ee East Eee ri with 
southern centres fis distribution. The element is a 
strong one; we may refer especially to aestitan. Burchellit and 
Babiana Bainesii as characteristic South African representatives,—
