Genera of South African Flowering Plants.

Yanstadens, where most of the recorded species of other genera also occur. 
Leucadendron adscendens R. Br. extends to Grahamstown, while Leuco- 
spermum R. Br. in one species only (L, attenuatum R, Br.) extends to 
Gazaland, and Protea L. has a wide eastern distribution, though with only 
few species. Some of the forests in our districts will probably be found to 
include a representative of the genus Faurea Harv., which occurs at the 
Knysna and then again further east from the Transkei onwards. Sim 
records it on the authority of Mr. McNaughton from Zitzikamma. HaJcea 
Schrad, is naturalised near G-rahamstown. 
SANTALALES. 
Santalaceae. 
All genera of South African Santalaceae are represented in the Uit. and 
P. E. divs. (for the genus Gruhhia see Grubhiaceae) . The genus Thesidium, 
which, on the whole, is of south-western distribution, extends eastwards only 
as far as the neighbourhood of Grrahamstown. The distribution of the 
other four genera is much wider and does not call for any remarks. They 
are Thesium L., Col/poon Berg. (Bhoiocarpus A. DC. — endemic), Osyris L., 
Osyridicarpus, A. DC. 
Grubhiaceae (endemic in S.W. Cape Colony). 
The only genus, Gruhhia Berg., is found from Clanwilliam to G-eorge. 
In the * Flora Capensis,' xi, p. 827, Sonder also records Gruhhia stricta DC. 
from mountains in the district of Uitenhage. It has not been found so far 
east in recent years. 
Olacaceae. 
Ximenia Plum, is recorded from Natal. 
Loranthaceae. 
As far as I know, the genus Loranthus L. finds its western limit as 
regards the southern coast districts in the Uit. div., radiating, like so many 
other South African genera, from Tropical Africa, and penetrating from the 
north to Namaqualand and Clanwilliam. The genus Viscum L. has a more 
general distribution, our districts yield the most interesting Viscum 
minimum Harv. and V. crassulae 1^. &Z. both extending, however, to the 
neighbourhood of Grrahamstown. 
Balanophoraceae. 
Of the two South African genera, Mystropetalon Harv. is of south-western 
distribution (from the Caledon district to near Sir Dowry's Pass), while 
Sarcophyte sanguinea, being fairly common in the Albany district, is sure to 
be found near Uitenhage, though not recorded.
