SASOL PROTEAS - ERRATA

Page 200: Ld spissifolium fragrans has leaves 2.0-2.3 mm wide in the males and 2.0-2.5 mm wide in the females. The widths given (20-23 mm and 20-25 mm) are also in Vogts (page 202). This makes a major difference in the identification of this subspecies, so please note it in your copies of these books! Tony

Page 206: Hakea suaveloens should now be Ha drupacea. (See page 4).
