DESCEIPTIONS OF SOME NEW ALOES FEOM THE 
TEANSYAAL. 
Part II. 
By I. B. Pole Evans. 
(With Plates L— LVI. ) 
(Eead October 20, 1915.) 
In a previous paper* the author described six new Aloes from the Transvaal, 
and in a subsequent communication t a short account and description of a 
rather remarkable Aloe from Swaziland was given. The present paper 
includes descriptions of six more species, and from material which the 
author has at his disposal it is evident that many more species await 
description before the genus Aloe can be regarded as having been satis- 
factorily worked out in so far as South Africa is concerned. 
The accompanying descriptions have been made from plants growing in 
the rockeries in the grounds of the Botanical Laboratories of the Union 
of South Africa at Pretoria.
