 CAPE ALGM. 197 kowiensis Schm. MS., and as through the kindness of Mr. Holmes I have been enabled to see the type specimen of Microccelia kaly- menioides and compare it with the plant of Hymenocladia in the British Museum on which Prof. Schmitz founded his opinion, I am compelled to differ from Mr. Holmes in his decision. It is possible that further material may enable me to agree in the distinctness of the two plants. Rhodymenia capensis J. Ag. Walfisch Bay, Cleverly !
