    Abstract A new member of *Rhoicissus* is described, illustrated, compared with other members of the genus and named *R. sekhukhuniensis* Retief, Siebert & A.E.van Wyk. It occurs mainly in the geographical area called Sekhukhuneland, situated in the Mpumalanga and Northern Provinces of South Africa. *R. sekhukhuniensis* is a scandent shrub, characterised by a dense indumentum of reddish brown hair on young growth, with older parts being more or less glabrous. It is closely related to *R. tomentosa* (Lam.) Wild & R.B.Drumm, but can be distinguished by its trifoliolate leaves with coarsely toothed margins. Pollen are tricolporate with a reticulate tectum. Plants flower in October/November (early summer), with few-flowered inflorescences. Fruits are reddish, ripening to black, and edible with a pleasant grape-like flavour. Plants grow among boulders in mountainous regions with a mean annual rainfall of 300-500 mm, on dry, warm slopes and on clayey soils derived from ultramafic rocks. [15324] (D. Saayman, Stellenbosch)

    Abstract The mature stomatal morphology of 11 southern African species of Eugenia, and also of E. uniflora L. (naturalized) and E. incerta Diimmer (a garden plant of unknown origin) has been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. Leaves of all the species are hypostomatic and water-stomata are occasionally present. Two different stomatal types, X and Y, differing mainly in their cuticular ornamentation, were found in the southern African species. The grouping of species based on stomatal characters supports a previous grouping of species on the basis of periderm and seed characters. Conspicuous lipid bodies, usually present in the subsidiary cells, are limited to the southern African species. Although the subsidiary cells do not differ in shape and size from adjacent epidermal cells, their contents often have a higher tannin content than ordinary epidermal cells. The variable patterns of arrangement of the three to five subsidiary cells makes it difficult to identify the stomata with existing classifications based on mature topography. Thus, a new term ‘anomostaurocytic' is proposed for the stomatal type found in the southern African species. Stomata of E. uniflora and E. incerta are paracytic and anomocytic respectively, and the cuticular ornamentation of their stomata differs from those of the southern African species. The view that E. incerta is not closely related to the southern African species is supported by differences in its cuticular ornamentation, lack of lipid bodies in the subsidiary cells, anomocytic stomata and prominent T-pieces at the guard cell poles.
