Excerpt from Flora Capensis, Vol. 7: Being a Systematic Description of the Plants of the Cape Colony, Caffraria, and Port Natal and Neighbouring Territories

Ir was considered advisable to commence the continuation of the Flora Capensis with Volume VI., which was almost exclusively devoted to the orders which furnish what are familiarly known as Cape Bulbs. These are perhaps now more largely cultivated in Europe than any other South African plants, and a systematic description of the species it was felt would meet a long-acknowledged want.

Several considerations suggested the desirability of next attacking the seventh and concluding volume of the work in advance of the fourth and fifth, which are still unpublished. What perhaps more weighed with me is the fact that the orders contained in it admittedly present more difficulties than are likely to be encountered in any other part of the work. It has, however, been my good fortune to be able to enlist the aid of contributors who, in each case, have had the advantage of a special previous study of the groups they have undertaken.
