Guttiferae (incl. Hypericineae). 
Hypericum L. is found from George eastwards to Natal and the Trans- 
vaal. The only other South African genus, Garcinia L., grows from the 
Transkei eastwards. 
Elatinaceae. 
Bergia L. occurs on the Cape Peninsula, at Riversdale, in the Uit. div. 
and then again in Bechuanaland, the Transvaal, and Portuguese East 
Africa. 
Frankeniaceae. 
Only the genus Franhenia L. is found in South Africa. It occurs on 
saline soil in the West, South-west, the Karroo, and near Kimberley, but in 
the coast districts it is not recorded east of Uitenhage. 
Tamaricaceae. 
Tamarix L. occurs in Namaqualand. 
Violaceae. 
Hyha7ithus Jacq. (loyiidium Vent.) found in the southern coast districts 
has approximately its western limit in the Uit. div. Viola L., apart from 
garden escapes, is only found in South- West Cape Colony and the Transvaal, 
while Uinorea Aubl. (Alsodeia Thouars.) penetrates from the Tropics into 
Natal and Pondoland. 
Flacourtiaceae. 
Kiggelaria L. and Scolopia Schreb. extend in the coast districts from the 
Cape Peninsula to the Tropics, Doryalis Arn. et. Mey. (incl. Aheria Hochst.) 
and Trimeria Harv. from G-eorge to the Tropics. Seven other genera pene- 
trate into South Africa from the Tropics, but only Xylosma G-. Forst. 
goes very far, namely to the Pirie forest, and Bawso7iia, Harv. et. Sond. to 
the Transkei. 
Turneraceae. 
Wormshioldia Schum. et Thom. and Firiqueta Aulb. (formerly under 
Turner a) are found in South Africa in the parts skirting the Tropics. Both 
are found in the Transvaal but do not reach Natal. 
Passifloraceae. 
None of the South African genera are found wild in the Uit. and P. E. 
divs. They are only found in the parts of South Africa adjoining the 
Tropics. (See the next order, Achariaceae.) 
Achariaceae (endemic in South Africa). 
Ceratosicyos Nees and Acharia Thunb. are recorded from the Uit. and
