These plates differ slightly from those in the published volumes of the Flora in that they have the title THE FLORA OF SOUTH AFRICA at the top and a 'Family' number. It is unknown whether they were run-ons from the original publication or specially printed for sale as separate plates. It is possible they were printed after World War I when the final two volumes of the THE FLORA were issued.
