In addition to the above, all of which are named specimens, 

 I have received a number of specimens of our own flora for 

 identification, often single specimens only when information has 

 been required as to the uses or properties of the plant sent, in 

 several cases larger number of plants have been sent by persons 

 wishing to know something of the plants growing in the vici- 

 nity where they reside, or picked up in their travels. The 

 largest contributor in this way has been Mr. G. H. Davies, of 

 Qudeni, Zululand, who sent about 40 different species, chiefly 

 shrubs or trees, the specimens sent have been excellent, well 

 prepared, and in sufficient quantity, but they often suffered 

 considerably in transit through the post. Amongst them are 

 several new species, some rare ones, and a few that are not yet 

 fully determined I should be very pleased to have a few more 

 such valuable correspondents as Mr. Davies in other parts of 

 the Colony, and I may again repeat that parcels of specimens 

 will pass free through post, provided printed direction labels 

 are attached to the parcels, these labels will be forwarded on
