Haemodoraceae. 
Barheretta Harv. is only known from Natal and the Transkei. The 
south-western genus Bilatris Berg, extends to the Riversdale division. 
Wachendorfia L. has its eastern limit in the Uitenhage district, while 
Lanaria Ait. extends to the east of Port Alfred, as does also Cyanella L. 
As regards Pauridia (placed by some under Haemodoraceae), see under 
Amaryllidaceae. 
Amaryllidaceae. 
The number of genera of Amaryllidaceae endemic in South Africa 
exceeds the number of those also found beyond its boundaries. All genera 
of fairly general distribution are found in the Uit. and P. E. divs. 
(a) Fairly generally distributed: 
Brunsvigia Heist., Crinum L. (the species are mainly eastern). 
Hypoxis L. (absent in central parts except towards the East), Forhesia 
Eckl. (Ciircuiligo Graertn.), Neriiie Herb, and Ammocharis Herb, (both 
extend to Damaraland). 
(&) Mainly western and south-western, all endemic : 
Pauridia Harv. (to Humansdorp), Jari^Ae Salisb. (to Graliamstown), 
Hessea Herb, (to Uitenhage, Graaff Eeinet and Hopetown), Carpolyza 
Salisb. (Cape Peninsula only), Strumaria Jacq. (extends to Uitenhage 
and into central parts, not on Cape Peninsula), Amaryllis L. (S.W. 
only), Gethyllis L. (to Uitenhage and G-raaff Reinet), Vallota Bak. 
(neighbourhood of G-eorge only). 
(c) Mainly eastern and north-eastern (see also Crinum L. above) : 
Buphane Herb, and Haemanthus L. (both to Graaff Reinet and in 
the coast belt to Malmesbury), Cyrtanthus Ait. (in the coast belt to 
Caledon) and the following endemic genera : Olivia L. (to south of 
Grahamstown), Apodolirion Bak (to Graaff Reinet and Uitenhage), 
AnoigantJius Bak. (Swaziland to East London and Somerset East)^ 
Bhodohypoxis Nel. (G-riqualand East and Natal). 
Velloziaceae. 
Barhacenia Vaud. (Vellozia Vaud.) is only found in north-eastern and 
eastern parts to Griqualand East and Pondoland. 
Dioscoreaceae. 
Dioscorea L. and Testudinaria Salisb. have mainly north-eastern and 
eastern distribution. The first extends in the coast belt to G-eorge ; the 
second, which is endemic, to Somerset East and Humansdorp. The distri- 
bution of Dioscorea in the southern parts is very erratic. There is one 
species growing at Kamaehs, near Uitenhage.
