396 APPENDIX. 



Lake Nyassa ; all of which have proved serviceable to me 

 in working up Mr. Oates's collection. 



It now only remains to enumerate the species in 

 detail. 



Order RANUNCULACE^E. 

 i. Ranunculus pinnatus, Poir. 



Between Pietermaritzburg and the Crocodile River. 



Order POLYGALACE^E. 



2. POLYGALA VIRGATA, Thunb. 



Crocodile River. 



Order TILIACE.E. 



3. Triumfetta Welwitschii, Mast. 



Matabele Land. 



Order MALPIGHIACE^E. 



4. Sphedamnocarpus pruriens, Planch. — Acridocarfius pruriens, 



A. Juss ; Oliv. in Oates's Matabele Land, ed. 1, p. 366, (1881). 



Matabele Land. 



Order ZYGOPHYLLACEjE. 



5. ZYGOPHYLLUM SIMPLEX, Linn. — Z. Dregeanum, Presl. ; Oliv. in 



Oates's Matabele Land, ed. 1, p. 366, (1881). 



Crocodile River.

 doubtfully referred in the former edition, is only a form of the above- 

 named variable and widely diffused plant. 



Order CHAILLETIACE.E.
