C. capensis Sond. occurs according to Sim throughout the forest regions 
from G-rootvadersbosch to Natal. The one species of Apodytes E. Mey. 
which extends throughout the forest regions of Cape Colony and Natal, but 
does not reach the Cape Peninsula, is found in the Uit. div. 
Sapindaceae. 
An essentially tropical order which, as defined by Radlkofer and others, 
is absent from the Cape Peninsula, and is represented by Bodonaea L. on 
the south-western and western mountains, in the Karroo, Namaqualand and 
Natal. Allophijlus L. (Schmidelia L.) extends in the coast districts from the 
Knysna to Natal, Smelophyllum Radl. from Langekloof to Port Elizabeth. 
Pappea E. & Z. is found in the scrub of TJitenhage, Albany, and Namaqualand, 
one species is eastern. Hippohromus E. & Z. is found in the eastern scrubs 
and forests and does not seem to occur west of the Uit. div. Cardios- 
permum L. is eastern from the Kei River onwards, Eri/throphysa E. Mey. is 
confined to Namaqualand. (For Ptaeroxyloji E. & Z. and Nyma.nia Lindb. 
\_Aitonia Thunb.] see under Meliaceae.) 
Meliantbaceae. 
There are three genera only : Greyta Hook. & Harv. and Bermma Fres. 
{Natalia Hochst.) are both eastern, the former confined to South Africa 
and found from Dohne and Komgha in the mountains to Barberton, the 
latter from Komgha eastwards. On the other hand, MeliantJius L. has a 
decidedly western and central distribution. It is found on the Cape 
Peninsula, and in the east it does not appear to go beyond East London. 
Balsaminaceae. 
Impatiem L. is found on river banks in woods from GTeorge to Natal 
and the Transvaal. It has also been collected by Schlechter in the West on 
the Silver E-iver, a locality unknown to me. 
RHAMNALES. 
Rhamnaceae. 
Zizyphus Juss., though pretty generally distributed in South Africa, has 
not been recorded in the Uit. and P. E. divs. It is also absent from the 
Cape Peninsula. Scutia Brongn. is found throughout the forest regions of 
Cape Colony and Natal and reaches the Cape Peninsula. RJiamnus L. has 
a similar distribution, but is also found in the Orange Free State and the 
Transvaal, but is absent from the Cape Peninsula. Noltea Reichb. f . occurs 
from the Cape Peninsula to Natal. Heliiius E. Mey. is an eastern genus 
reaching its western limit on the Zuurberg. Phylica L., is, on the other 
hand, a typical south-western genus which almost stops at Port Elizabeth, 
only a few species being found further east as far as Natal. There remains 
only Marlothia Engl., which is only found in Bechuanaland.
