3. ErtcineLLa Mannu, H.f. Ramulis puberulis, foliis appressis gla- 
bris nitidis, pedicellis folia superantibus, sepalis superioribus corolla 
dimidio brevioribus, antheris muticis inclusis, stylo breviter exserto. 
Hab. Clarence Peak, alt. 10,000 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Frutez 10-pedalis. 
Extremely closely allied to the South African E. multiflora, KL., 
end Madagascar E. gracilis, Benth., and almost intermediate between 
these, though quite distinct from both . It differs from gracilis in the pu- 
bescence, white stems and branches, longer pedicels and shorter sepals ; 
from E. multiflora in the longer pedicels, erect leaves, muticous anthers 
and short style. 
LOGANIACE. 
l. ANTHOCLEISTA SCANDENS, H. f. Caule tetragono, foliis petiolatis 
obovatis apieulatis, petiolis non alatis basi exauriculatis, corolla 12- 
mera, antheris fauce corollze sessilibus. 
Hab. Clarence Peak, alt. 5000 ped. (fi. Dec.) 
Arbor scandens, 50-pedalis. Ramuli non spinosi. Folia 3"—4" long., 
petiolo pollicari. Calyx fere 1” long. Corolla 2” expans. Bacca 
obovoidea, 2-pollicaris. 
A very distinct species from A. Vogelii or nobilis, with flowers twice as 
large, leaves not half as large, sessile anthers, and a much larger berry. 
GENTIANE®. 
1. Sebza brachyphylla, Griseb.; DC. Prodr. ix. 53. 
Hab. Clarence Peak, 8500—10,000 ped. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba 1-1i-pedalis, floribus flavis. 
Appears identical with the Madagascar plant. 
2. SwERTIA CLARENCEANA, H. f. Glaberrima, caule erecto anguste 
alato, foliis cordato-subrotundis obtusis margine recurvis, sepalis ob- 
longis obtusis corolla dimidio brevioribus, corolle lobis obovato- 
oblongis obtusis, staminibus 5, fovez nectariferæ marginibus fimbriatis. 
Hab. Ad cacumen ipsum Clarence Peak, alt. 10,700 ped. — Exempl. 
solitarium. (fl. Dec.) 
Herba 6” alt. subrobusta, caulis ale angustz, interdum margine sub- 
glanduloso-denticulata. Folia j"long. Flores laxe cymosi, pro 
planta majusculi, fere 2" expans. 
Very nearly allied to S. Abyssinica, but differs in more stout habit and 
much larger flowers. 
MyxnzsINEE. 
1. Mesa Indica, ADC.; Prodr. viii. 80. 
Hab. Fernando Po, alt. 5000 ped. (fl. Nov.) 
Arbor parva, 15-20-pedalis. 
This does not differ from the Indian plant, which is found from the Hi- 
malaya to Australia. it is also very similar to a Natal and East African 
.
