PREFACKH, 


THE present section of Volume V. completes the description of 
the MonocotyLepons of South Africa to which Volumes VI. 
and VII. are devoted. Its preparation has been long postponed 
in the hope that the Orchidew might be undertaken by Dr. 
Botus who had made a continuous study of the South African 
species from 1882 to the close of his life thirty years later. 
No botanist has ever succeeded in examining or in illustrating 
with his own hand so many of them in a living state. 
The “Icones Orchidearum Austro-Africanarum Extratropi- 
carum” in two volumes, commenced in 1892, and the revision 
of the last proof-sheets of which occupied him “on the very eve 
of his death” on May 25th, 1911, are a worthy and permanent 
monument of his labours. Failing health had compelled him to 
abandon the elaboration of the Ericacew beyond the vast genus 
Erica, in which the late Professor GuTHRIE had collaborated 
with him, and it equally deterred him from attempting the study 
of the intricate problems which are involved in the synonymy of 
so many of the imperfectly described species of South African 
Orchideer. 

In the event I was reluctantly compelled to acquiesce, and I 
entrusted their elaboration to Mr. R. A. Rotre, A.L.S., Assistant 
in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who has 
long made the order his special study, and had previously 
contributed the Orchidew to the seventh volume of the “ Flora of 
_ Tropical Africa.” 

I am indebted for much friendly aid to Lieut.-Colonel-Sir 
Davw Prat, C.M.G., C.LE., F.R.S., Director of the Royal 
Botanic Gardens, and my acknowledgments are also due to 
Mr. C. H. Waricut, A.LS., and to Mr. N. E. Browy, A.LS., 

A 


vi PREFACE. 


Assistant Keepers of the Herbarium, the former for reading the 
proofs and the latter for working out the localities and 
geographical distribution. 

For the limits of the regions under which the localities are 
cited in which the species have been found to occur, reference 
may be made to the Preface to Volume VI. 

Besides the maps already cited in the Preface to Volumes VI. 
and VIL, the following have also been used :—Map of the 
Colony of the Cape of Good Hope and neighbouring territories. 
Compiled from the best available information. By Joun 
TEMPLER Hornek, Surveyor-General, 1895. Stanford’s map of 
the Orange Free State and the Southern parts of the South 
African Republic, etc., 1899. Carte du Théatre de la Guerre 
Sud-Africaine. Par le Comte CAMILLE Favre, 1902. 

A correct determination of the species represented by the 
names and descriptions of earlier writers is a necessary basis for 
an accurate nomenclature. With this object, in order to assist 
Dr. Bo.us and to the ultimate advantage of the Flora, the 
types of South African Orchids described by THUNBERG were 
generously entrusted to Kew in 1883 by Dr. Tu. M. Frtss, the 
Director at the time of the Botanic Garden at Upsala, and in 
the following year the same kind service was rendered for those 
of Swartz by Dr. V. B. Wirrrock, Director of the Museum of 
Natural History at Stoekholm. They were critically examined 
by Mr. N. E. Brown and compared with the specimens of LINDLEY 
preserved at Kew. Errors in the correlation of the names of the 
earlier with those of later botanists were detected by him and 
communicated to Dr. Borus as well as to Mr. Rorr. 

Further acknowledgments for the loan of types are due to :— 

Dr. J. 1. Briguet, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Geneva ; 

Geheimrath Dr. A. ENGLER, Director of the Botanic Garden, 


Dahlem ; 
Professor C. A. M. LinpMAN, Curator of the Botanical 
Department of the Museum of Natural History, Stockholm; 
and for the same service, as well as for the gift of specimens, 


Dr. RuDOLPH ScHLECHTER, Berlin. 
The general material worked out is due toa long series of 


PREFACE. Vii 


contributors of specimens of South African plants whose names 
are recorded in the previously published volumes. 

The expenses of preparation and publication of the present 
section have been aided by a grant from the Government of the 
Transvaal.

Only known from Drége’s original specimen. Lindley remarked: “ This looks 
like a starved state of S. cucullatum (ie. 8. bicorne), but the form and texture of 
he flowers are different.” S. ochroleucwm, Bolus, has since been considered 
identical, hut in that the stigma is much shorter and broader. The origin of the 
confusion is probably that Lindley himself wrote ‘‘S, humile, m.,”’ on a sheet in 
Sir William Hooker's Herbarium. This sheet contains two small specimens of 
oleucum, Bolus, localised ‘‘Cape,” and without any collector’s name 

but they are quite different from the two specimens collected by Drége on 
which Lindley founded the species, and which are preserved in his own 
erbarium.
