I have only been able to take two collecting trips during 

 the year, viz., one to Van Reenen, the other to Lidgetton, on 

 both occasions obtaining specimens for exchange, and some for 

 our own Herbarium. The Agricultural Department of Buiten- 

 zorg, Java, having applied to our Agricultural Department for 

 plants or seeds of a rather rare indigenous grass, Saecharum 

 Munroanum, the matter was left in my hands, and I proceeded 

 to the vicinity of Greytown where I had seen the grass some 

 years before in January 1899, not having met with it in any 

 other locality. I obtained both roots and seeds, these were sent 

 by Parcels Post, but I regret that the roots did not reach Java 

 alive, but as a good packet of seeds were sent it is hoped that 

 they will be able to rear the plant ; the weather being wet I 

 returned from Greytown without making any other collection 

 of plants. 



In my Report for 1894 I gave a list of native names of 

 plants, this list has been kindly revised for me by the Rev. 

 Father Bryant, some of the names have been deleted from the 

 list as being incorrect, and a few have been added to, and I 

 now give this corrected list, hoping to supplement it at some- 

 future time.
