Lysimachia L. is not found west of Uitenhage, and is even further east 
very local in its distribution. Samolus L. is found all over South Africa, 
where it has suitable conditions for its growth. Anagallis L. is absent from 
the Karroo and the western region. The only species recorded occurs in 
South Africa as a garden weed only. 
Plumbas^inaceae. 
Statice Willd. is found in the western and south-western region, pene-

the Kentani district. It is absent from Natal. Plumbago L. has its western 
limit in the Uit. div., while Vogelia Lam. is, in South Africa, chiefly confined 
to the western region penetrating into Calvinia.
