The former class may think that the language used is too technical, and without some little effort and attention they may find that such is the case, but we submit that a little study, with the assistance of such a glossary as is attached to any botanical text book, and with the help of the figures and native names given, no intelligent colonist need be long in identifying any of the plants figured. To the skilled botanist we ought perhaps to apologise for the inclusion among what should strictly be specific characters, of many of generic, or ordinal value, but this will be understood by them when considering the other classes for whom we write. Though we trust this effort will be useful to many, we regard it as simply bringing somewhat nearer, what will, we hope, erelong be published, a full. Flora of Natal, but meantime through insufficient detailed knowledge of the plants throughout the colony, paucity of workers, lack of
