matches Geranium astragalifolium Cav., but is not Persoon's 

 species. It was gathered at Kalk Bay, Wolley-Dod, 2160 ; Muizen- 

 berg, Bolus, 3063 ; also by Pappe on Table Mountain. 



8. P. pinnatum Linn. ? Hill and mountain slopes, frequent ? 

 11-12. See note to last species. One or other, or some allied 

 undescribed species is frequent. 



9. P. rapaceum Jacq. Shrubby places, occasional ; 12. About 

 Eosebank and Rondebosch; " Table Mountain," Ecklon. 



10. P. dipetalum L'H6rit ? Dry sandy places, locally common ; 

 12. Muizenberg ; Herzog, near Retreat. It is probable that this 

 is not L'Heritier's plant (Geraniologia, t. 43), and it may be a new 

 species. 



11. P. lobatum Willd. Rough hill slopes among bushes, locally 

 frequent ; 9-10. West slopes Signal Hill to Kamp's Bay. 



12. P. flavum Ait. Judging by specimens at Kew, this species 

 seems inseparable from triste. The decurrence, breadth, and degree 

 of dissection of the leaf segments appear most variable. " Cape 

 District," Zeylier. 



13. P. triste Ait. Sandy and gravelly flats and low hills, 

 frequent ; 9-1. 



14. P. gibbosum Willd. Rocks and slopes near sea, rather 

 frequent ; 12-4. Slangkop ; Chapman's Bay ; beyond Sea Point ; 

 Paarden Island ; Kalk Bay ; Smitswinkel Bay. 



15. P. hirtum Jacq. Rocks and bushy hill slopes, locally com- 

 mon ; 8-9. West slopes Signal Hill and Lion's Head up to 

 1,500 feet. 



16. P. myrrhifolium Ait. Flats and mountains up to 1,500 feet, 

 common ; 7-2. Some of the varieties are very distinct, and on the 

 Peninsula, at least, they do not run into one another. Var 

 betonicum Harv. seems to be the commonest variety ; var. Synnoti 

 Harv. is plentiful beyond Miller's Point, and is the only one we 

 have seen there. 



17. P. candicans Spreng. Dry gravelly hill slopes, rare ; 12-2. 

 Castle Rock ; near the Silver trees on Devil's Peak. 



18. P. senecioides L'Herit. Sandy flats, rare; 6-11. Fish 

 Hoek ; Chapman's Bay ; between Groot and Klein Slangkop. 



19. P. grossularioides Ait. Damp places, frequent; 5, 9-12. 

 Most variable. The var. anceps Harv. inhabits the wettest places ; 

 var. iocastum Harv. is found at Groot Schuur and elsewhere on 

 Devil's Peak. 



20. P. chamsedryfolium Jacq. Dry sandy places up to 

 1,500 feet. Rather less frequent than the last species, though more 

 abundant locally ; 9-1. 



21. P. saniculifolium Willd. Mountain rocks, frequent ; 

 7-12. It can hardly be called a ''bush" as in Fl. Cap. I. 295. 



22. P. alchemilloides Willd. Pine woods and dry shady places, 

 rather frequent ; 9-10.
