Not seen from Natal; stated by Wood to have been collected there by Dregé. 
Schmidelia rehmanniana, Szyszy., collected by Rehmann (No. 9038) near Durban, 1

DODONEA LINN. F. 
D. viscosa Linn. 
Branches glabrous, with reddish bark. Leaves sessile, 4-9-5 cm. long, 1-3 em. broad,

Pedicels 5-9 mm. long, glandular. Sepals unequal, 2-5-3 mm. long, 0 -75-1 -5 mm. broad, 
lanceolate or elliptic, obtuse, glandular without, usually three-veined. Petals absent. 
Filaments 0-5 mm. long; anthers 1-5 mm. long, 0:75 mm. broad, oblong. Ovary 1-5 mm. 
long, 1-5 mm. in diameter, globose, densely glandular, two-locular with two ovules in 
each loculus; style 2 mm. long, thick, terete, glabrous, bifid at the apex. Fruit 1 cm. 
long, 1-5 cm. broad, transversely oblong, two-winged, two-celled with two seeds in each 
cell. Seeds black, 1-5 mm. long, 1-5 mm. broad, discoid, glabrous. Sonder in Harv. and

Natal : Shores of Natal Bay, 50 ft., September, Wood, 7928, and in Natal Govt. Herb.,

I find that this species differs from the generic description by having a two-locular 
ovary.—(#. P. P.)
