Distribution. 
3i 
We have thus set out 1 7 species which grow only in the Karroo 
district, or south of it, and 64 species which are not recorded south 
of it. Besides these, 12 northern species extend into the eastern 
district, but not to the west, viz. : — 
Cystopteris fragilis 
Peltaea geranioefolia 
Pteris longifolia . 
* Asplenium Kraussii 
ebeneum 
varians 
anisophyllum 
'* prionitis 
cuneatum 
* Aspidium luctuosum 
falcatiim 
Acrostichum aureum 
The remaining 64 species, as under, are to be found more or 
less throughout the whole seaboard area, though the absence of 
Pteris incisa, and Todea barbara, and also almost, of Lomaria 
punctulata, and Osmunda regalis, from Kaffraria, while they occur 
on both sides, is very noticeable, and the occurrence of Cheilanthes 
pteroides and Pellaea auriculata in Natal also seems peculiar
